Soldiers in northern Nigeria uncovered an arms cache that the authorities say they believe belonged to members of the Lebanese political party and militant group Hezbollah, the military and secret police said Thursday. Officials said soldiers confiscated the weapons from a home in Kano. The arms, shown on the state-run Nigerian Television Authority, appeared to include badly corroded rocket-propelled grenades, land mines, hand grenades, assault rifles and ammunition. Officials also said three Lebanese men had been arrested. The military did not explain why the men had a weapons cache, other than to say they were part of Hezbollah. Kano has a large Lebanese community.
