Lebanon's Hezbollah slams Britain's terrorist group listing
None
The Lebanese group Hezbollah condemned on Friday the British government's decision to list it as a terrorist organization, saying the move showed "servile obedience" to the United States.
The heavily armed Shiite group, which is backed by Iran, said in a statement it was a "resistance movement against Israeli occupation" and described the British move as an "insult to the feelings, sympathies and will of the Lebanese people that consider Hezbollah a major political and popular force".
"Hezbollah sees in this decision servile obedience to the US administration, revealing that the British government is but a mere a follower in service of its American master," the statement added.
