I Am Not Interested in Nasrallah”s Speeches
Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit says he ignores the comments of Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Cairo adding that investigation is ongoing on the so-called Hizbullah cell held in Egypt.
"I am not interested much in such speeches. Egypt is much higher than any person or party. Time will teach those who don”t know this fact," Abul Gheit told pan-Arab daily al-Hayat in remarks published Friday.
He said "some new issues are being discovered about the cell," adding that when the investigation is complete, the state prosecutor will present the case to the state security court and everything will be made public.
The daily al-Mustaqbal quoted an Egyptian judicial source as saying Thursday that he expects Egypt”s state prosecutor Abdel Majid Mahmoud to issue the decision to refer the suspects to the court at the beginning of next week.
Sources confirmed that the number of suspects in the Hizbullah cell has reached 27. They include Sudanese, Palestinians, Egyptians and Lebanese. They said 22 other suspects remain at large.
The newspaper also said that Cairo was mulling making direct charges against Nasrallah.
Abul Gheit lauded improvement in his country”s ties with Syria and told al-Hayat that Cairo doesn”t see any "negative effort" by Damascus on the Palestinian cause. "On the contrary, Damascus is speaking with openness about its desire to help."
