Hezbollah Chief Urges Lebanese Government To Build Nuclear Reactor

The head of ultra-conservative Lebanese militant outfit Hezbollah has called up on Beirut to build a nuclear facility for generating electricity on the lines of the Bushehr plant in Iran, reports said on Tuesday.

Seyyed Hassan Nasarallah said that if Lebanon were to build a nuclear facility as he suggested, it could save the country huge amounts of money now being spent on procuring power. Besides surplus power could be sold to other countries in the region.
