Hezbollah's Military Wing Labeled As A Terror Group By The EU

EU Blacklists Hezbollah - Sort Of -- Christian Science Monitor

The EU has voted to blacklist only the 'military wing' of Hezbollah, allowing members to continue interacting with Hezbollah's political leaders.

The European Union agreed on Monday to blacklist the “military wing” of Lebanon’s militant Shiite organization Hezbollah in response to the group’s alleged activities in Europe.

The unanimous decision ends months of wrangling between the 28 EU member states over whether or not to slap Hezbollah on its list of terrorist organizations. The long-standing debate hardened after a deadly suicide bomb attack in Bulgaria last year that was pinned on the group, while Hezbollah’s military intervention in Syria’s war eroded the lingering hesitation of some European countries.

However, the blacklisting only applies to Hezbollah’s “military wing,” a distinction that allows officials and diplomats from European countries to continue meeting with Hezbollah’s “political” leaders, such as parliamentarians.
