An Albanian opposition daily revealed in an article published Dec. 2 the involvement of the Albanian government in facilitating the passage of Ukrainian arms to Hizbullah.
It said Albania bought the missiles — type "C 18" and "C 16" – using money from Iran in favor of Hizbullah and the Islamic Jihad.
The shipment, according to the paper, was then transferred via Off Shore Company to Beirut.
Pan-Arab Asharq al-Awsat daily on Tuesday quoted Albanian and Balkan sources as denying knowledge of an arms shipment from Ukraine to Hizbullah via Albania.
