Nasrallah says Egypt holding Hezbollah member
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Hezbollah said Friday the Egyptian authorities had arrested a member of the group who was offering logistical help to Palestinians in Gaza, but denied allegations that it was planning attacks in Egypt.
Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said the Hezbollah member, Sami Chehab, had been working "to move military equipment and members to help the resistance" in Gaza.
Egypt's public prosecutor this week said it was investigating accusations that Hezbollah had recruited a 49-member cell with the aim of striking inside Egypt.
"The number of brothers who cooperated with Sami is not more than 10," Nasrallah said in a televised address.
