Britain's Home Office has moved to ban Hezbollah's military wing which stands accused of supporting terrorism in Iraq and the Palestinian territories.
Home Office minister Tony McNulty said in a statement that the entire military section of the Shiite Lebanese movement would be listed as a proscribed group under British terrorism laws. He added that this meant that fundraising and encouraging support for the military wing of Hezbollah would constitute a criminal offence in Britain. The department said that Hezbollah's social and political work in Britain would be unaffected. The ban still requires parliamentary approval.
