Lebanese-Swedish man in Thailand denies links to Hezbollah

A Swedish-Lebanese man denied on Tuesday having any links to Hezbollah during his trial on accusations of breaking Thailand's weapon laws.

Atris Hussein, 48, was arrested last year in Bangkok after police found chemicals used to build a bomb at a property he had rented.

The Thai courts accuse Hussein and some unknown men of packing more than six tons of ammonium nitrate into bags.

In March, Thai authorities accused Atris of having connections to Hezbollah.

Giving testimony for the first time, Atris -- who was given Swedish citizenship after claiming asylum -- denied the charges.

Prior to his arrest, the United States warned against a "serious" threat of a possible terrorist attack on tourist areas in Bangkok.
