'Hezbollah cannot be called terrorist'
Lebanon's President has praised Hezbollah for defending the country's sovereignty, saying labeling the group as terrorist is unacceptable. "Whoever defends his land and liberates it from occupation cannot be termed terrorist. I cannot accept this in any case," President Michel Suleiman said in an interview with France's Magazine L'Express.
Hezbies have just about won, haven't they ... | Earlier this month, the British government put the resistance group on its list of terrorist organizations, accusing Hezbollah of supporting terrorist groups in the region.
Suleiman said Hezbollah is a Lebanese political party and the national resistance is one of its wings. Hezbollah leader Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah earlier condemned the move by Britain, saying "It was a natural decision coming from a country which created the Zionist entity".
