Hizbollah
Literally menas the Party of God in Arabic. It's pne of many terrorist organisations which seek the destruction of Israel and of the United States. They have taken credit for numerous bombings against civilians, and have declared that civilian targets are warranted.
Hezbollah claims it sees no legitimacy for the existence of Israel, and that their conflict becomes one of legitimacy that is based on religious ideals. Another of its ideals is the establishment of the an Islamic Government.
Germany and Britain have both attempted to have Hizbollah added to the European Union's terror list, but with support of the French government, they remain off the official list.
