An American-Palestinian journalist who was shot dead last week during an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank had family living in Bahrain, it is learnt.
Shireen Abu Akleh’s grandfather and his brother arrived in Bahrain in 1948 to conduct business, according to Palestinian Ambassador Taha Mohammad Abdul Qadir.
He told the GDN exclusively that after extensive research it was found that the family had a shop in Adliya called “Leena Shoes”.
