A Cyprus court has found a member of the Islamic militant group Hezbollah guilty of helping to plan attacks on Israelis on the east Mediterranean Island, according to AP. The three-judge bench on Thursday found 24-year-old Swedish-Lebanese citizen Hossam Taleb Yaacoub guilty on five charges including conspiracy and participation in a criminal organization. The court rejected Yaacoub\'s defense that he didn\'t know what the information that he was ordered to collect for Hezbollah by his handler in Lebanon - including the arrival times of Israeli flights and hotels where Israelis are known to stay in - would be used for.
