Germany bans Hizbullah television
Germany has banned Hizbullah's Al-Manar satellite television station, Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter revealed on Tuesday. Dichter was in Berlin to sign a declaration of intent with his German counterpart, Wolfgang Schäuble, to foster cooperation on counterterrorism and crime-fighting technology. When asked if Hizbullah's status as a legal organization in Germany - it has 900 active members there - would be on the agenda in his talks with the German Interior Ministry, Dichter told The Jerusalem Post: 'I heard they banned Al-Manar.' An Interior Ministry spokesman confirmed to the Post that Schäuble had issued an administrative order on November 11 and that the ban would go into effect toward the end of the month. According to the spokesman, the restrictions cover Al-Manar advertisements, fund raising for its Beirut studio and the station's reception in hotels. However, the spokesman said Al-Manar would still be permitted to broadcast to private residences. (Jerusalem Post)
