The 2009 Hezbollah plot in Egypt involves the arrest of 49 men by Egyptian authorities in the five months preceding April 2009. Egypt accuses them of being Hezbollah agents planning attacks against Israeli and Egyptian targets in the Sinai Peninsula. The arrests have led to tensions between the Egyptian government and Hezbollah as well as Egypt and Iran.〔http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hUErcuTPwqqAVNnXhoqJ_upyxgHA〕 Tension had been high since Israel’s Gaza War. Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah had accused Egypt of being a partner to the killing of Palestinians there, saying if it did not open the Rafah crossing it would be considered a "partner in the killing of Palestinians by the IDF." The plot prompted the Egyptian government to officially designate Hezbollah a "terrorist group". 〔EGYPT: Cairo calls Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Reports said the men had planned three major bomb attacks in Taba, popular with Israeli tourists, using explosive belts and car bombs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2009 Hezbollah plot in Egypt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
