What took them so long?

Germany has banned Al-Manar:

Germany's Interior Ministry has banned Hizbullah's television station al-Manar, saying that it violates the country's constitution.

The ministry said al-Manar television programming was forbidden under Article 9 of Germany's constitution, which says that organizations cannot operate with the purpose of violating "international understanding."

A ministry spokesman did not offer further details. Al-Manar is staunchly anti-Israel and frequently broadcasts footage of Hizbullah fighters.

The US lists Hizbullah as a terrorist organization and has banned Al-Manar.

Al-Manar made no immediate comment.

Their parent company's PR Department is probably busy setting C4 charges by the German Embassy in Beirut as the "official response."
