Bahrain's state television on Wednesday accused Qatar of attempting to overthrow the government in Manama, upping the stakes in a diplomatic crisis that has seen Doha isolated in the Gulf.
Along with Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt, Bahrain cut ties with Qatar in June on accusations that the country supports extremism and is too close to Iran.
State-run Bahrain Television aired a report which claimed that neighbouring Qatar was behind anti-government protests that have shaken the kingdom for the past six years.
It reported that, Qatar's former prime minister, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem Al Thani, in 2011 had contacted Ali Salman - then head of Bahrain's largest opposition group, Al Wefaq - and asked him to urge protesters to flood the streets and ramp up pressure on the state.
A court order, carried by state news agency BNA, said Attorney-General Ali Al Bouainen had launched an investigation into a series of phone calls.
In the calls, Sheikh Hamad and Salman had allegedly agreed to "work together to escalate unrest so as to harm the interests of the nation and undermine its stability, which are tantamount to the crime of communicating with a foreign state with the intention of harming national interests". - AFP
