Egypt: Hezbollah to pay 'heavy price' for planning attacks
15.04.2009
Hezbollah will pay a "heavy price" for planning to carry out terror attacks on Egyptian soil, a senior Egyptian official was quoted as saying by the state-run al-Ahram newspaper on Wednesday.
The official said Egypt has all the means to punish Hezbollah, adding that "this can be done by a series of measures."
On Tuesday al-Ahram reported that Hezbollah operatives arrested in Egypt had planned to simultaneously strike three tourist hubs in Sinai frequented by Israelis - Taba, Nuweiba, and Dahab.
The daily said the Hezbollah members also gathered information on the presence of Israeli tourists in the town of Hurghada, which lies on the Red Sea coast.
The investigation into Hezbollah activities revealed that the goal of the cell was to undermine stability in Egypt and to strike at Israeli targets, not to aid Gaza's Hamas rulers, Al-Ahram reported.
