Abstract: We observe that any regular Lie groupoid G over an manifold M fits into an extension $KoGoE$ of a foliation groupoid E by a bundle of connected Lie groups K. If $FF$ is the foliation on M given by the orbits of E and T is a complete transversal to $FF$, this extension restricts to T, as an extension $K_{T}o{G}_{T}o{E}_T$ of an 'etale groupoid $E_T$ by a bundle of connected groups $K_T$. We break up the classification into two parts. On the one hand, we classify the latter extensions of 'etale groupoids by (non-abelian) cohomology classes in a new v{C}ech cohomology of '{e}tale groupoids. On the other hand, given K and E and an extension $K_{T}o{G}_{T}o{E}_T$ over T, we present a cohomological obstruction to the problem of whether this is the restriction of an extension $KoGoE$ over M; if this obstruction vanishes, all extensions $KoGoE$ over M which restrict to a given extension over the transversal together form a principal bundle over a ``group of bitorsors under K.
