Egypt Arrests 49 In Planned Attacks - WSJ.com: "CAIRO -- Egypt said it has cracked a major Hezbollah network operating within its borders, in a sign the confrontation in the Mideast between U.S. allies and more radical forces aligned with Iran is intensifying.
In recent days, Egyptian authorities have said 49 Hezbollah members and sympathizers were arrested on Egyptian soil between November and January. Led by a Lebanese man known as Sami Shihab, they are suspected of smuggling weapons and ammunition, plotting attacks, and spying, Egyptian officials said. Mr. Shihab's lawyer said his client had no plans to hurt Egypt."
