The European Union has placed the military wing of Lebanese party Hezbollah on its terror list, an official said Monday. The decision by the EU's 28 foreign ministers was reached unanimously, a French diplomat said. The blacklisting would mean imposing visa bans on individuals and asset freezes on organizations associated with the group, according to a report of the Associated Press. The decision was taken during the meeting of the foreign ministers, which focused on discussing a number of Middle East affairs, including the political situation in Egypt; the latest developments of attempts to revive the peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis and the current crisis in Syria.
