Britain's government says it's re-establishing contact with the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
Britain ceased contact with members of Hezbollah in 2005. The UK listed Hezbollah's military wing as a proscribed terrorist organization last year.
But Britain's Foreign Office said on today that it has reconsidered its position following political developments in Lebanon.
Britain's ambassador attended a meeting in January in Beirut alongside a Hezbollah lawmaker, the ministry says.

I predict that Britain will regret the involvement with Muslim extremists. These extremists hate everyone, even their own wives, brothers, and children.
