Lebanon's Hezbollah has lashed out at a Lebanese judge for alleging members of the militant group were behind last year's killing of a U.N. peacekeeper, saying the powerful faction “had absolutely no relation to the incident.”
The comments by Hezbollah’s chief spokesman Mohammed Afif came a day after Lebanon’s military tribunal charged five men with the killing of an Irish peacekeeper in Lebanon's south, a stronghold of the Iran-backed group. The indictment alleges all five men are linked to Hezbollah.
