A Lebanese judge resigned a day after issuing an international media ban on US Ambassador Dorothy Shea over critical comments she made of the Hezbollah Shia group. Sunday's decision taken by Mohamed Mazeh, a judge of the southern city of Tyre, came after the US Ambassador blamed the Shia group for worsening the economic situation in the country. "By its actions and threats, Hezbollah destabilizes the country and jeopardizes the country's economic recovery," Shea said during an interview with Al-Hadath on Saturday. (IANS)
