Hizballah samarbetar med mexikanska knarkkarteller

Hizballah samarbetar med de mäktiga

knarkkartellerna, som i praktiken styr

norra Mexiko. Hizballah tar hand om

en stor del av kokainsmugglingen till

Europa och Mellanöstern mot att

kartellerna slussar in tiotusentals il-

legala invandrare från arabvärlden.

U.S. intelligence indicates that Mexico

is home to some 200,000 Syrian and

Lebanese immigrants - most of them

illegal - who were able to cross the

border via an extensive web of contacts

with drug cartels.

Western intelligence agencies have

gathered ample evidence suggesting that

the drug cartels in Mexico - which are the

de facto rulers of the northern districts

bordering the U.S. - are in cahoots with

Islamic terror organizations.

**
In December 2011, U.S. authorities released

an indictment against Lebanese drug lord

Ayman Juma, which exposed Hizbullah's

involvement with the Los Zetas drug cartel,

the most technologically advanced and most

dangerous cartel operating in Mexico.
Hizbullah is helping the drug lords build

smuggling tunnels under the U.S.-Mexico

border.

A 2009 Department of Homeland Security wiretap

recorded Professor Abdallah Nafisi, a Kuwaiti

clergyman and known al-Qaeda recruiter, boasting

about the ease by which non-conventional weapons

can be smuggled into the U.S. through the Mexican

drug tunnels.

-"Ten pounds of anthrax in a medium-size suitcase,

carried by a Jihad warrior through the tunnels, can

kill 300,000 Americans in one hour," he said.

"It will make 9/11 look like peanuts."

Hizballah, FARC och Dror Feiler....

Hizballah, FARC och Dror Feiler....

Islamistexperten Douglas Farah berättar

på sin blogg (16 June):

There is still significant debate within the U.S.

government and among members of the

national security establishment over the

level of threat posed by Iran's growing

presence and the increasing presence of

Hezbollah that this presence brings.

So the arrest of a suspected Hezbollah

fundraiser with an outstanding US arrest

warrant in the Tri-border area is another

important indicator of just how deep this

relationship has now become.

**

Moussa Hamdan is the latest in a long

line of suspected Hezbollah financiers

who have been arrested in and around

Ciudad del Este, the main hub of the Tri-

border (where the borders of Brazil,

Argentina and Paraguay meet near

Iguazu Falls) region. U.S., European

and Latin American investigations

have traced tens of millions of dollars

from the region back to Hezbollah in

Lebanon, using the formal and informal

money remittance systems.

**

Hezbollah operatives in the 1994

AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires

have been documented as having

used Ciudad del Este as their base

while planning their attack on a

Jewish target, operating under

orders from Iran.

The Tri-border has historically been a

smuggling and black market center for

the Southern Cone of Latin America,

generating hundreds of millions of dollars

in illicit profits. That is not new. What

changed over the past 15 years is the

importance of the region as a financial

hub for terrorist groups, from

Hezbollah to the FARC in Colombia

to Hamas.

**

So Hezbollah and other terrorist groups

have an expanded playing field. Venezuela

is friendly territory, Ecuador is hospitable

and the Tri-Border network gives them

access to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay,

none of which want to acknowledge there

is a problem.The key factor in looking at

this expanding territory is the expanding

networks that develop among groups

operating there, and their ability to cross

pollinate and help each other logistically

and financially. It also creates new areas

in which to move illicit goods, and those

goods are likely not to simply be cocaine

and knock off watches.

**

There is another little tidbit pointed out by

a blog reader that goes to the network

aspects. It turns out that Dror Feiler, an

outspoken Swedish-Israeli musician who

was a main organizer of the flotilla to Gaza,

is also on the editorial board of ANNCOL

(Agencia de Noticias Nueva Colombia or

New Colombia News Agency), a key

part of the FARC's external propaganda

machine. (Yesterday it featured, with no

hint of irony, a piece on the humanitarian

treatment that the FARC affords its hostages,

with no mention of the years they spend in

captivity with chains around their necks,

little food and deprived of freedom. It also

sought to portray the recent hostage rescue

by the Colombian military as a "humanitarian

release" by the FARC. Etc. Etc.)

Does that prove Mr. Feiler is a FARC member

or a terrorist? No. But it does prove that these

networks overlap and occupy key players in

strategic locations. And that is what makes

them dangerous.

U.S. officials have warned of a real danger

Islamist extremists could form alliances with

wealthy and powerful Latin American drug

lords to launch new terrorist attacks against

the United States. According to recent remarks

made by Under Secretary of Intelligence and

Analysis in the U.S. Department of Homeland

Security, Charles Allen, at a two-day conference

hosted by SOUTHCOM and the Armed Forces

Communications and Electronics Association

(AFCEA);

“The threat of ties between criminal and drug

smuggling networks and Islamic terrorism may

be less pressing than in the Near East, but the

threats in this hemisphere are genuine, insidious,

and not always limited to recruiting and finance.”
