US: Nasrallah's remarks – 'empty accusations'
None
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah on Friday said members of his group had confessed to being CIA agents, and accused arch-foe Israel of turning to the US spy agency after failing to infiltrate his party.
The US embassy in Beirut immediately dismissed the accusations as "empty," saying Nasrallah seemed to be "addressing internal problems within Hezbollah. These are the same kinds of empty accusations that we have repeatedly heard from Hezbollah," a US spokesperson said shortly after Nasrallah's speech.
