Libyan Deputy FM: Hizbullah, Amal are Helping Rebels

Libya's deputy foreign minister, Khaled Kaim, has accused Hizbullah of joining the ranks of the rebels fighting against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s regime.

Kaim claimed Wednesday that several members of Hizbullah are fighting alongside the rebels in Misrata, but did not provide evidence.

He also alleged that members of Speaker Nabih Berri’s Amal movement are training rebel fighters in Benghazi.

Kaim added that Qatar had sent military trainers to Libya and was supplying the rebels in Benghazi with French-made Milan anti-tank missiles.
