Bahrain Mirror- Exclusive: The Bahraini Ministry of Interior claimed on Wednesday (August 24, 2016) that the Instagram account of Deputy Chief of Public Security Khalifa bin Ahmad Al Khalifa was hacked, few hours after insulting Shia on Instagram.

The Director-General of Anti-corruption and Economic & Electronic Security has announced that the "personal Instagram account of the Deputy Chief of Public Security was recovered within hours of its being hacked, denying that the Deputy Chief had written the posts about any particular sect."

Khalifa-one of the ruling family members- commented on Hassan Abdulnabi's Instagram page, saying that Shiites are "bastard children" and they "exchange their wives".

This is the first time in which the Directorate of Anti-corruption and Economic & Electronic Security announces that it recovered a personal account on social media.
