A former
al-Qaeda
member claims the Bahraini government recruited him to assassinate members of the country's Shia-led opposition.
This comes after thousands of Bahraini opposition members and activists were arrested following a violent crackdown on mass protests in March 2011.
The
Bahraini
government says the accusations are false.
