Thread: Hezbollah in Mexico: Two Inconvenient Men

According to news reports from around the world, two top jihadists are now in custody. Such news should be the cause for celebration by the United States and the rest of the Free World. The Obama administration, however, is likely instead to see them as inconvenient.

News of the first apprehension actually broke weeks ago at our sister site, BigGovernment.com, thanks to intrepid reporting by contributor and best-selling author Brad Thor. The Chinese news service Xinhua yesterday confirmed Thor’s revelation: “An Afghan popular television channel Tolo, citing Pakistani media, reported Tuesday that Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar has been arrested in Pakistan. Tolo also showed a picture of the one-eyed Mullah Omar without giving more details.â€

Wasnt there a Lebanese restauranteur in Tijuana a few years ago that was organizing the smuggling of a large number of Lebanese Hezbollah members?

Its only a matter of time until suicide bombers start blowing things up here In the United States. Our "Open Border" policies will most definitely come back to haunt us In a very big way sooner rather than later... TS

yes, he was Mexican-Lebanese. Mexico arrested him and sentenced him to SIXTY years in prison.

"At least as unwelcome for the Obama folks must be the proof that Iran’s most dangerous terrorist proxy, Hezbollah, is operating with impunity in Latin America. The capture of Nasr comes as the President tells Senator Jon Kyl that the border must remain insecure until he gets a deal from congressional opponents of an amnesty for the many millions of illegal aliens already in this country. "

I don't think it is unwelcome for the Obama folks at all. I would not be surprised if they aided and abetted it. After all, who was Tim Osman? They probably chose the timing of the announcement of the suit against AZ to divert our attention from investigating. The jihadists believe that they are the true freedom fighters and boycott multi-nationals like Coca-Cola and I think that some of us can agree that we do not wish to be ruled by multi-national corporations as even the Bilderbergers want.

So, Will Holder Tell Arizona that the States Are Pre-empted from Defending Themselves from Hezbollah, Too? [Andy McCarthy]

Steve Emerson's Investigative Project on Terrorism reports that the Hezbos are at the Mexican border — and we're not talking here about those "moderate elements" of Hezbollah that Obama's counterterrorism czar is searching for; we're talking about the jihad's A-Team (i.e., the guys al Qaeda goes to for training).

As IPT relates:

Hizballah is setting up shop along the American border with Mexico, the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Seyassah reports. In an exclusive story, the Kuwaiti daily revealed that Mexican officials have arrested a Mexican national with ties to the Shiite terrorist group.

The militant, Jameel Nasr, was reportedly under police surveillance for a while, with authorities explaining he had traveled from Lebanon to countries throughout South and Central America, eventually gaining citizenship and a job as a graphic engineer in Mexico. While in Mexico, Nasr reportedly traveled frequently to Lebanon to receive information and instructions from Hizballah commanders.

The issue of border security for the United States, both to the North ad the South, is not new. We recently reported on an investigation by the House Committee on Homeland Security that confirmed the threat is only increasing. In June, Congresswoman Sue Myrick wrote to Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano about this issue, asking that a task force be dedicated to the issue because, in the words of former Chief of Operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration, Michael Braun:

"Hezballah relies on the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts as the drug cartel…They work together; they rely on the same shadow facilitators. One way or another they are all connected."

Steve goes on to explain that the "report cited Mexican authorities as saying that Nasr had been 'entrusted with forming a base in South American and the United States to carry out operations against Israeli and Western targets.'"

This is not new news (see, e.g., this 2009 Washington Times report). And let's not forget that, in 2006, FBI Director Bob Mueller testified to a House Appropriations subcommittee that Hezbollah had a smuggling ring on the Mexican border and had already succeeded in infiltrating a number of its operatives into the U.S. (It would be foolish to think the rings we know about are the only rings that exist.)

As I've indicated (see, e.g., here), I don't think the Justice Department's lawsuit against Arizona passes the laugh test. More gravely, it would be a dangerous rupture in the social contract on which our republic is based to tell a sovereign state that (a) the federal government will not act to defend it from a foreign threat such as rampant illegal immigration, and yet (b) that the state, by having joined the union, has forfeited its own natural right of self-defense — such that it must passively allow itself to be overrun (and to pay for the privilege).

But even if you bought the Obama Justice Department's ludicrous premises regarding routine Mexican illegal-immigration, would anyone seriously suggest that a sovereign state cannot protect itself from the threat of international terrorism by a jihadist organization that (1) is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under federal law, (2) has killed hundreds of Americans, (3) is the forward militia of Iran, an enemy whose national motto is "Death to America," and (4) is setting up shop on the southern states' doorstep?

It doesn't matter who they are - if they have one gnat size amount of pigment in their skin - more than whites do - then Obama is not going to be against them as much as he is against whites, especially whites in America, but no doubt around the entire world.

I've seen Middle easterners in Southern California, posing as mexicans. Melding in with the gangbanger type.
