-Kuwait has protested to Lebanon over the alleged training by Hezbollah of 21 Shiites convicted last month on charges of forming a"terror cell"in the Sunni-majority emirate. It demanded that pressure be put on the Shiite militant group, which has ministers in the Lebanese government, to ensure there was no repetition. The protest follows Kuwait's expulsion of 15 Iranian diplomats on Thursday over Tehran's alleged links to those convicted. The letter delivered by Kuwait's ambassador in Beirut late on Friday said the emirate's supreme court had found that"Hezbollah took part in contacts, coordinating meetings, paid funds and provided arms and military training in Lebanon"for the defendants.
