Hezbollah rejects call to disarm

BBC

Hezbollah's leader has said it will keep its weapons, despite pressure from US President George W Bush to disarm.
Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah said the group, a powerful pro-Syrian political and military movement in Lebanon, needed to protect the country from Israel.
President Bush had said on Tuesday that Hezbollah could "prove" they were not a terrorist group by laying down weapons.
