Most Dangerous Terrorist Groups in the World

Hezbollah:

Hezbollah is a Shi'a Islamic militant group and political party based in Lebanon. The group receives financial and political support from Iran and Syria, and its paramilitary wing is considered as a resistance movement throughout much of the Arab and Muslim worlds. The U.S., the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Australia, Canada and Israel classify Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

Hezbollah first emerged in response to the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, through the Lebanese civil war. Its forces were trained and organized by a group of Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Hezbollah leaders have also made many statements calling for the destruction of the state of Israel, which they refer to as the "Zionist entity".

Hezbollah, which had started with only a small militia, has grown to an organization with seats in the Lebanese government, a radio and a satellite television-station, and programs for social development. The group maintains strong support among Lebanon's Shi'a population, and is able to drum up demonstrations of hundreds.
