European parliament calls for putting an end to Hizbullah terrorist acts

The European Parliament on Thursday announced support for taking measures aiming at "putting an end to terrorist activities" by the Hizbullah party and called on Syria not to be tolerant towards "any form of terrorism," including the activity of this party, stressing the need of the withdrawal of the Syrian forces and intelligence from Lebanon and the importance of organizing legislative elections "free, democratic and transparent."

In a consultancy decision only, and of a majority of 473, objection of 8 and three abstainers, the European parliamentarians said that "there are proved evidences on the terrorist moves of Hizbullah."

The decision added that the "European parliament should take all needed measures to put an end to the terrorist activities of this group," but it did not tackle the issue of listing Hizbullah as one of the European list for terrorist organizations.
