Hezbollah: Egypt verdicts political and unjust

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has described as "political and unjust" the verdicts that Egypt handed down in convicting 26 men it linked to the Shi'ite Muslim guerrilla group of planning attacks.

"The verdicts that were issued... against the mujahideen who were providing support for the mujahideen in Gaza are political and unjust... against these honourable mujahideen," Nasrallah was quoted as saying Thursday on a website. Nasrallah said the issue would now be dealt with through diplomatic means. (Reuters)
