Hezbollah
Over 240 Americans were killed in Lebanon in 1983 when a group thought to be Hezbollah’s precursor bombed the U.S. Marine barracks. Now, 25 years later, Hezbollah is supported by about 40 percent of the Lebanese population and has veto power in Lebanon’s Cabinet. This multimedia report reveals why countries like the United States and Israel still consider Hezbollah a terrorist organization, while others view it as a legitimate political party, and still others view it as a combination of the two – making it a threat for many and a possible future for some.
