The request came almost to the day of the one year anniversary of the bombing of a resort in Nurgas, Bulgaria, targeting Israeli tourists. Iran has been accused of sponsoring the terror attack, which Israel said was executed by Hizbullah. Last Wednesday, Bulgaria's Foreign Minister said that new evidence had surfaced linking Hizbullah with the terror attack. Five Israelis and a Bulgarian were killed in the attack.

The group's presence on the list means that EU authorities will seize money and supplies to be transferred to the group. Hizbullah members who travel to Europe are subject to arrest and detention.

Lebanon is such a sad case. It used to be a premier vacation spot. Now it’s a hellhole.............
Too many of the productive citizens are now Americans, Mexicans, and Brazilians. I can’t blame them. If they could have united a little better 40 years ago, they might have stood a chance, but the diaspora began in earnest over 100 years ago.
or what? will they refuse to accept handouts anymore?
Fine.
Add Lebanon to the Terror List then.
You are in NO position to demand ANYTHING!
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. They’re suffering from Stockholm syndrome. So let’s send them more money to make it all better./s
