The ministry accused Mali**wski of "meddling in Bahrain's internal affairs" by meeting "with a particular party to the detriment of other interlocutors", in an apparent reference to the Shiite-led opposition, according to a statement carried by BNA state news agency. State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Mali**wski is in Bahrain -- home base of the US Fifth Fleet -- and "he remains in Bahrain." "He is on a visit to affirm and strengthen bilateral ties as well as to support the king's reform efforts," she said.
