13 charged in Hezbollah explosives case
Government Commissioner to the Military Court Judge Claude Ghanem has charged 13 individuals in the case of the Hezbollah explosives truck that was stopped in Dahr al-Baidar, the National News Agency reported on Friday.
MTV identified some of the individuals as Hezbollah members Haytham Amhaz and Ali al-Kurdi, who are in custody, in addition to Hezbollah security officials Ibrahim Habib (nicknamed Sajid) and Bilal Sabouri (nicknamed Zulfiqar). It identified another four as Mohammad Ayoub, Mohammad Zoaiter (who was in a car escorting Amhaz and al-Kurdi's truck), Mohammad Hazimeh (the vehicle’s owner), and Iryna Kryshynova, who is Amhaz's wife.
“They are charged with offenses against internal and external state security, as well as felonies under Article 353 of the Penal Code and Articles 27 and 76 of the Arms Law,” MTV added.
The National News Agency said five other Hezbollah members, who have only been identified by their noms de guerre, have also been charged by Ghanem.
