Link to the list.

Ragik Hacker – apart from being fire brigade-type rescue for your battleplan, is a Specialist who can be landed anywhere on board.
Al-Djabel is an excellent way to make sure that a given enemy specialist is dead as dodo. With luck – a number of enemy Specialists are dead. how is you opponent going to win an Objective-based game with no Objective-capable specialists?
Lasiq Snipers are there to hinder enemy mobility and make any activity a dangerous idea.
Farzans are going to be your primary Objective grabbers. They are Camo Infiltrating Specialists, and one of them is also a backup Lt.
Barid Hacker is a very useful model – and an excellent opportunity to spend these pesky Lt Orders for hacking. Keep in mind that he can allow the Ragik more accurate Combat Jumps, or boost your Remotes. Apart from the remotes, he hase his own Repeaters that can be shot to distant (or dangerous to reach) locations.
Asawira is another specialist, and the most durable model Hassassin Bahram can field. Apart from objective grabbing, he will come handy to get Unconscious models back to their feet (and the two Nasmat REMs will come really handy here!).
Shihab is an in-your-face defensive REM, with 360-visored, Total Reaction HMG. No-one likes to face this kind of threat. Place it to support your Lasiqs, and you should have excellent long-range area control.
Rafiq is a walking toolbox (and another specialist) for your Hackers.
Ghazi Muttawi’ah is on his own here (though once you have a free space in the main battle group, you should consider spending a command Token to move him there) – he’s primarily a distraction for your enemy. Still, if he gets ignored, he can make some real mess!

Recap
Hassassin Bahram has the reputation of being one of the more difficult sectorials to use. It is also said it’s a typical “glass hammer”, and having spent some time playing them I must agree that they are not forgiving.
On the other hand – their fluff is excellent, and the army provides some options not available anywhere else!
