In Europe too: military wing of Hezbollah - terrorist organization

The European Union announced today (Monday) the military wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. Hezbollah dismissed the possibility that it will happen. "Hezbollah organization is too large to isolate and too strong to humiliate," stressed Sheikh Nabil Qaouk, a senior member of the organization.

Sheikh Qaouk added that "Hezbollah is too respected than anyone who tries to harm its achievements and the dignity of its fighters." A Hezbollah senior called the discussions in the Union "threats and intimidation" against the opposition movement, noting that Hezbollah "will not allow any tool that serves the Americans in Lebanon to take advantage of the state of the organization." "We will remain strong, no matter how much they try to hurt us in Beirut and in Bak'a," he said, referring to attacks against members of the organization committed by the Syrian rebels and their supporters.

Today, as said, the foreign ministers of 28 EU member states gathered in Brussels to decide whether Hezbollah should be added to the list of worldwide terrorist organizations. In order for a decision to be approved a "unanimous" consent of all members is required.

At the start of the hearing, British Foreign Secretary William Haig said he hoped the vote will be approved and there will be a majority for the proposal. German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said that evidence from the Burgas attack, where five Israelis and a Bulgarian citizen were killed, are sufficient for an incentive for the decision.

Now, after the decision, the organization's assets will be frozen in the EU countries, EU representatives will be prohibited to conduct any connections with the military agents of the organization and operation of fundraising surfaces countries shall be prohibited.
