Hezbollah urges calm after Shiites abducted

Hezbollah Chief Sheik Hassan Nasrallah  has appealed for calm following the abduction of 12 Lebanese Shiites in Syria. In a televised speech, the leader of the militant group warned his followers against carrying out any revenge attacks on Syrians.

 

Security officials say Syrian rebels kidnapped the men Tuesday as they returned from a religious pilgrimage. The abductions immediately sparked tensions in Lebanon. Shiites in Beirut's southern section took to the streets and burned tires in protest. (AP)
