Hezbollah has denied it had any members in Kuwait after the Gulf country announced the arrest of 14 Kuwaitis and two Lebanese nationals allegedly affiliated with the group over a “sabotage plot”, AFP reports.
Kuwait’s interior ministry had said in a statement Monday that the group “aimed to destabilise the country’s security and recruit individuals to join the terrorist organisation”.
Hezbollah has said in a statement that it “categorically denies the allegations and accusations issued by the Kuwaiti interior ministry”.
The group has called the allegations “baseless” and added: “There are no Hezbollah cells, members or networks in Kuwait.”
