UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is alarmed at the public admission by Hizbullah that it provided support to Gaza-based terrorists from Egypt and condemns the "unwarranted interference" in Egypt's domestic affairs, a UN envoy said Thursday.
... The UN chief also reiterates his call for Hizbullah and all other militias operating in Lebanon to be disarmed and demobilized as demanded by a UN Security Council resolution adopted in 2004, he said.
Roed-Larsen is Ban's envoy dealing with implementation of the 2004 resolution, and he discussed Hizbullah's alleged interference in Egypt as he presented Ban's latest report on compliance with the resolution to the Security Council.
Roed-Larsen said that in recent weeks, "there has been a growing concern that Hizbullah has engaged in clandestine and illegal militant activities beyond Lebanese territory."
He cited Egypt's announcement on April 8 that it had uncovered a plot by 49 men linked to Hizbullah to destabilize the country by carrying out "hostile operations" on Egyptian institutions and Israeli tourists.
Two days later, Hizbullah leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah rejected the accusations but admitted a Hizbullah member was in Egypt supervising weapons shipments to Hamas.
- FINALLY THE UN IS SAYING THE RIGHT THINGS ON THIS ISSUE.
- TOO BAD WORDS WON'T CHANGE A DAMN THING.
- FACT IS: HIZBALLAH AND HAMAS AND IRAN AND THE TALIBAN MUST BE SMASHED KINETICALLY.
