6:21 AM
Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has strongly criticized the Egyptian courts for imprisoning men accused of working for the movement. The judgement by the Security Court in Cairo was "unjust and politicised", bbc.co.uk quotes Mr. Nasrallah as saying. The 26 men were sentenced for planning attacks on ships and resorts. Hezbollah says it was working to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip. According to its leader Muslims should consider it a "source of pride" that members of Hezbollah were sent behind bars helping Palestinians.
