Hezbollah's Terrorist Threat to the European Union
Publication Date: August 2007
Publisher(s): Heritage Foundation (Washington, D.C.)
Author(s): James Phillips
Series: Heritage Lecture
Topic: Politics (Political parties and groups)
Keywords: Middle East; Hezbollah; Imad Mugniyah; Sheikh Nasrallah
Type: Speech
Coverage: Europe
Abstract:
The EU has turned a blind eye toward Hezbollah fundraising and other activities inside Europe. This ostrich-like policy mistakenly accepts the fiction that Hezbollah's "political wing" can be distinguished from its terrorist wing. The EU must designate Hezbollah as a terrorist group and ban its activities.
