Hezbollah ‘recruiting Palestinians in bid to foil peace’

LEBANESE Hezbollah guerrillas are trying to recruit Palestinian militants for attacks on Israelis in order to sabotage Middle East peace efforts, senior Palestinian officials warned last night.

The accusations, a day after Israel and the Palestinians announced a ceasefire, echoed charges from the Jewish state. The officials declined to be identified.

Meanwhile, Israel said it would soon readmit thousands of Palestinian workers and lift some West Bank roadblocks.
