The Phileleftheros newspaper said the 26-year-old man, who was remanded in jug Thursday, belonged to the Lebanese organization's military wing and had personal links to Hizbullah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

The daily said the man, who has not been named, arrived in Cyprus last week for what he described as a holiday.

on Wednesday following a period of surveillance and more than 400 boxes of ammonium nitrate -- a fertilizer that when mixed with other substances can be used to make explosives -- was discovered at his home in Larnaca.

The suspect reportedly told police he knew the material was in his basement but claimed it was not his.

The Politis daily said authorities had not ruled out that the suspect was planning an attack on Israeli targets on the Mediterranean resort island, which attracts thousands of visitors from nearby Israel each year.

"We are investigating every possibility and any links (to extremism), if they exist, will be investigated and evaluated," said Justice Minister Ionas Nicolaou.

Police sources say the man faces possible charges of conspiracy to commit a crime, membership of a terrorist organization and illegal possession and transfer of kabooms.
