(Worthy News) – Germany has banned Iran-backed Lebanese militant group Hezbollah’s activities on its soil and designated it a terrorist organization, a move welcomed by Tehran’s rivals the United States and Israel.
“Interior Minister Horst Seehofer has banned the Shi’ite terrorist organization Hizballah in Germany,” Interior Ministry spokesman Steve Alter tweeted on April 30.
The announcement came after German police conducted early morning raids in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen, and the capital, Berlin, to detain suspected members of the group.
Hizballah has already been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel. [ Source: Radio Free Europe (Read More…) ]
