Hezbollah Weapons Found in Nigeria
Three Lebanese nationals arrested
An armoury belonging to the Lebanese group Hezbollah has been discovered in northern Nigeria, the West African nation's army and spy agency has said.
Three Lebanese nationals have been arrested, an army spokesman, Brig Gen Ilyasu Isa Abba, said.
The cache, including rifles, anti-tank weapons and an RPG, were found in a warehouse in the city of Kano, he said.
Nigeria's State Security Service said they were intended for use against "Israeli and Western interests".
"This is the handwork of Hezbollah," Bassey Ettang, director of the State Security Service in Kano said.
