In a shocking revelation made by a veteran U.S.
counterterrorism expert, Hezbollah has infiltrated the Southwest United
States by joining forces with Mexican drug cartels that have long
operated in the region.
Judicial Watch has for years reported on the chilling connection
between Islamic extremists and Mexican drug cartels. In fact, as far
back as 2007 JW wrote about an astounding Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA)
report that lays out how Islamic terrorists and Mexican drug gangs have teamed up to successfully penetrate the U.S. as well as finance terror networks in the Middle East
In Hezbollah’s case, a growing “business relationship” with cartels
has allowed the Shia Islamic militant group to have a growing presence
in the U.S., says Matthew Levitt, an esteemed terrorism expert with an
impressive resume. Levitt is a former counterterrorism intelligence
analyst at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and State
Department counterterrorism adviser. He also served as the No. 2
intelligence official at the U.S. Treasury where he operated the
agency’s terrorism and financial intelligence branch.
Levitt offers details of this mind-boggling collaboration between two
powerful criminal enterprises in a new book titled: “Hezbollah: The
Global Footprint of Lebanon’s Party of God.” A nonprofit dedicated to
exposing the dangers of Islamic extremism, the Clarion Project, profiled
the book in a recent article titled “Growing Hezbollah Presence in Southwest U.S.”
Hezbollah’s business relationship with Mexican drug cartels is a
driving force behind this phenomenon, according to the analysis that
quotes alarming excerpts from the book. For instance in 2009, a former
Chief of Operations for the DEA said that Hezbollah uses “the same
criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation
experts as the drug cartels.”
A year later a man (Jamal Yousef) arrested in New York admitted
stealing weapons from Iraq for Hezbollah and told authorities of a
Hezbollah stockpile in Mexico that included 100 M-16 assault rifles, 100
AR-15 rifles, 2500 hand grenades, C4 explosives and anti-tank weapons.
That same year a Hezbollah terrorist was captured in Tijuana and a
senior Mexican military officer confirmed the group was conducting
explosives training for members of Mexican drug cartels.
In the U.S., law enforcement officials across the nation’s Southwest
region report a rise in imprisoned gang members with Farsi tattoos that
experts say express loyalty to Hezbollah, the book analysis reveals. One
U.S. law enforcement official is quoted as saying this: “You could
almost pick your city and you would probably have a [Hezbollah]
presence.”
This is not surprising considering that for years a number of reports
have exposed the connection between Mexico and Middle Eastern
terrorists. In 2010 a veteran federal agent in the U.S. immigration
system exposed a government cover-up
of Middle Eastern terrorists entering the country through Mexico. The
30-year agent confirmed that thousands of SIAs (Special Interest Aliens)
from terrorist nations like Yemen, Iran, Sudan and
Afghanistan—classified as OTM (Other Than Mexican)—were captured along
the southern border.
In 2011 a frightening exposé broadcast
by the world’s largest Spanish news network documented how Middle
Eastern terrorists have infiltrated Latin American countries—especially
Mexico—to plan an attack against the United States. The documentary uses
undercover videos taken during a seven-month investigation that prove
diplomats from Iran, Venezuela and Cuba planned a cybernetic attack
against the White House, FBI, Pentagon and U.S. nuclear plants.
