The action by the House of Commons would make it a crime to join or support the military wing of the radical group, which fought a bloody month-long conflict with Israel two years ago.
Britain's minister in charge of fighting terrorism Tony McNulty charged that the movement was linked to insurgent groups in Iraq that had attacked coalition soldiers.
"I can say unequivocally that Hezbollah's military wing is providing active support to Shia militant groups in Iraq," he said.
The ban passed the chamber unopposed. The measure will take effect with the House of Lords expected approval later this week. Link to source.
This ought to irritate liberals everywhere. Kudos to Britannia.
