House lawmakers introduced a bipartisan bill Monday aimed at cutting off money and propaganda support for Hezbollah.

The Hezbollah International Financing Prevention Act urges the Obama administration to turn the screws on financial institutions — including the central banks of Lebanon and other nations — as well as media providers accused to aiding the Shiite militia and its media arm.
