Hezbollah

From Bridget Johnson, About.com

Hezbollah, or Party of God, is a Lebanon-based radical Shiite militant and political organization accused of numerous suicide attacks and bombings.

A Hezbollah fighter prays in front of a large billboard featuring more militants before a funeral procession was to take place for eight militants killed in the 2006 war with Israel on July 18, 2008, in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon.
