Cairo Court Rejects Hizbullah Cell Complaints, Egyptian Labor Minister Contacts Fneish
An Egyptian court has rejected detention-related complaints filed by six members of the so-called Hizbullah cell.
Local media on Tuesday said the complaints were made by Nassar Jebril, Mohammed Ramadan, Nidal Fathi, Hassan al-Manakhili, Mohammed Qatab and Mohammed Saad.
Judicial sources in Egypt said the court will look into further complaints by Hizbullah suspects in the next few days.
Egyptian daily Al Masri Al Yom said Monday that Egyptian security forces have arrested Masaad al-Sharif from Port Said on suspicion of involvement in the Hizbullah cell, bringing the total number of arrests to 22.
It said interrogation with Mohammed Mansour, better known as Sami Shehab, as well as Hassan Manakhili, Ihab Moussa and Adel Suleiman Abu Amra focused on financial support for the cell and ways and means of getting the money.
