Hezbollah (TV) Channel Goes on Terror List

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON -- The State Department this week will place Hezbollah's television station on its list of terror organizations, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday.

Its television station al-Manar is being listed by the State Department as a terror group for broadcasting incitement, said the U.S. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

On Tuesday, France's Council of State, the country's highest administrative body, banned satellite broadcasts by the television station. Al-Manar was ordered off the air by Wednesday evening, a move praised by Foreign Minister Michel Barnier as "just."

The anticipated U.S. action against al-Manar, reported initially by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, could curtail broadcasts over an American satellite network.
