Handala targeted US troops in Bahrain with an influence campaign on WhatsApp, claiming surveillance and imminent drone attacks.
Driving the news: At least three Americans have been identified in connection to the alleged influence campaign, according to a new report by Danish public broadcaster DR. The report did not name the individuals. One of the Americans allegedly compiled a list of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders, collected names of people opposed to Trump and asked locals to point out cases that could be used to cast Denmark in a bad light to American media.
