Irish Justice Minister Queries Distinction between Hizbullah Military and Political Wings

(Irish Times) Mary Fitzgerald - Ireland's Minister for Justice Alan Shatter told Lebanon's Daily Star that he did not consider distinguishing between Hizbullah's political and military wings a "valid" distinction. "I think Hizbullah is a single organization....It doesn't reflect...the structure of the IRA where the IRA, or Provisional IRA, was a military wing and Sinn Fein was a political wing."
