Red Cross officials met Hezbollah captives in Israel
2006-09-17
TYRE: The International Red Cross said on Saturday its officials had met three captured Hezbollah fighters in Israel and urged the Jewish state to declare the number of Lebanese guerrillas in its jails. Andreas Wigger, head of the international committee's delegation in Lebanon, also asked Hezbollah's top official in southern Lebanon, Sheikh Nabil Kaouk, to allow his group access to the two Israeli soldiers snatched by the guerrilla group, ICRC spokesman Hisham Hassan said. "We have already visited three Hezbollah combatants currently in Israeli jails," Wigger told reporters after meeting Kaouk in the southern port city of Tyre. He said the organisation would meet relatives of the captives to pass on verbal messages from them. Hassan told Reuters negotiations with Hezbollah and Israel for both sides to allow the Red Cross access to all prisoners were ongoing.
