Hasan Nasrallah (born 31 August 1960; Arabic: حسن نصرالله) became the third Secretary General of the Lebanese political and paramilitary organization Hezbollah after Israel assassinated the previous leader, Abbas al-Musawi, in 1992. Hezbollah is regarded as a legitimate resistance movement and political party throughout much of the Arab and Muslim worlds, but is considered a terrorist organization by the United States, the Netherlands, Israel, and Canada. The group's military wing -- though not any of its other divisions nor the organization as a whole -- is designated a proscribed terrorist group by the governments of the United Kingdom and Australia.
