Hezbollah leader: We won't work against PM funding of Hariri court

Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday he disagreed with the prime minister's agreement to fund Lebanon's share of the cost of a U.N.-backed court investigating the killing of statesman Rafik al-Hariri, but that his party and its allies would not act against it.

"We stress our firm rejection of the legality and constitutionality of funding the court or cooperating with it in any way, but we will not cause a problem in the country and we will serve the higher national interest," he said in televised address commemorating the Shi'ite Muslim of Ashoura.
