Lebanon court hands death sentence to spy for Israel
None
A Lebanese court sentenced a man to death on Tuesday for spying for Israel and giving the Jewish state security information it used during its 34-day war in 2006 with Hezbollah, judicial sources said.
Ali Mantash was sentenced on the same day that a prosecutor charged Charbel Qazzi, an executive at Lebanon's state-owned mobile phone firm Alfa, with spying for Israel. Mantash's arrest and trial was part of a broad espionage investigation which has led to more than 50 arrests since April last year. (Reuters)
