Saudi Arabia worked on minimization of any Shiite influence on the projects represented by Bahrain, trying to control country's officials, a cable released on the WikiLeaks website said.

MANAMA (Sputnik) – Saudi Arabia recommended neighboring Bahrain restrict Shiite access to a number of major projects.
