The Bahraini cabinet on Sunday put Lebanon’s Shiite party Hezbollah on its list of terrorist organizations, CNN reported.
The cabinet then referred the decision to the Interior and Foreign Ministries for implementation.
The Bahraini State Minister for Media Affairs Samira Rajab told CNN that “the decision was made by the the nation’s parliament, and will be implemented in accordance with international standards.”
Rajad added that “the party, whose role opposing Israel has long since ended, started practicing terror that takes aim at Bahrain by training Bahraini nationals and provoking them towards acting violently against the state.”
The Bahraini minister also stressed that her country “has evidence to back its accusations against the Shiite group.”
Hezbollah has been on a United States terror blacklist since 1995, after a series of anti-American attacks including the bombing of the US embassy and Marine barracks in Beirut in the 1980s.
Meanwhile, the issue is sensitive in Europe because of sharp differences in opinions that exist between member states.
The United States has urged the EU to join it in listing the group, saying the designation would make it harder for the organization to raise funds.
