Congressional Hezbollah Bill and Hearing on Algerian Terrorism

By Andrew Cochran

The House International Relations Subcommittee on International Terrorism and Nonproliferation, chaired by Rep. Ed Royce, will meet at 2:00 pm on Thursday, March 3, to discuss and then pass a bill urging the European Union to add Hezbollah to the EU's list of terrorist organizations. To date, the EU has resisted doing so, which diminishes its credibillity in the face of repeated terrorist attacks by Hezbollah. Following the vote on the bill, the subcommittee will hold a hearing on Algeria's struggle against terrorism. Lorenzo Vidino, deputy director of Steven Emerson's Investigative Project and a contributor to this blog, will testify at that hearing.
