Ya Ashrafa el Nass …
Posted by N10452Ashrafa el Nass ( aka Hezbollah) caught in L.A as part of a drug ring .. guess they either blow themselves to get upthere or just smell some white coc and get high in no time ..
Sources: Feds Target Hezbollah Cell in L.A.
Today we report in the New York Daily News about a bizarre case unfolding in the Los Angeles communities Bell and Cudahy, where a special task force collared a dozen Arab-American and Latino suspects involved in a seemingly small-time drug and counterfeit clothing ring. While on the surface it doesn’t appear to be terrorism-related, our sources say Operation Bell Bottoms targeted a “classic case of terrorism financing,” with the defendants smuggling profits from selling dope and counterfeit goods in
L.A. back to Iran-backed Shiite terror group Hezbollah in Syria and Lebanon.
Neither the press release by the U.S. attorney for the Central District of California or court filings by the government specifically mention Hezbollah or terrorism. But one clue is found in the affidavits filed in court, which are signed by prosecutors from the Justice Department’s National Security Division and by an FBI official assigned to “Counterterrorism Squad 4″ in L.A., a task force brimming with agents from the FBI, DEA, IRS, Department of Homeland Security and local cops. CT-4 isn’t known for making drug and counterfeiting cases.
The counterfeit designer duds were sold out of local stores by the defendants from Bell and Cudahy. My colleague Jeff Anderson has written astounding stories that suggest no criminal activity in Cudahy is done without the blessing - and tax being paid to - the Mexican mafia and 18th Street gang. Also, while unmentioned so far in court papers, Hezbollah is well known to have profited from the illegal sale of name-brand counterfeits produced in the tri-border area of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil.
The Daily News has reported on similar scams before that were proven in federal court to be Hezbollah fundraising operations. Often they have involved smuggling cigarettes and other goods, as CT Blog contributing expert Matthew Levitt blogged about yesterday.
As the possibility of a confrontation with Iran arises, so have fears that Hezbollah operatives involved in the U.S. fundraising schemes could turn operational and attack at Tehran’s behest. While that may be a remote possibility, a federal case in 2003 fueled such speculation. Defendant Mahmoud Youssef Kourani was accused by federal prosecutors in Detroit of being a Hezbollah soldier trained in “weaponry, spycraft and counterintelligence.” Kourani’s brother was Hezbollah’s security chief in southern Lebanon.

To Hizb-Iran anything is acceptable as long as they will benefit from it! May be there is a prostitute or call girls rings too!

The only drug dealers in lebanon are the march 14 - {aoun}

Nayla m3awad’s son is a diamond smuggler

Hayda “Cocaine Nazif” like the “Al Mal al Nazif”.
I wish they’ll sit on a “Khazook nazif” after the coming preseidential elections with all their Pro-Syrian allies.

Why would hezbollah want to get drug money from the US with all the money they recieve from Iran.
It’s impossible for such a fanatically islamic organization to deal with something forbidden by Allah.

Lubnan,

Go visit HERMEL, BAALBAK…. you can see “7asheesheh” on the main road.
I saw them myself.

I’m sure it has nothing to do with hezbollah.
And why don’t you answer my question?

are you serious man?
do u really believe this crap about HA that they are honest God loving people….
A GUY WHO BELIEVES THAT KILLING OTHERS WILL SEND HIM STRAIT TO HEAVEN IS NOT A GOD LOVER…not to say more.

Lubnan,
Your question about “te72ie mely….”
They are not refusing, but in mid 2005 the gov was established. After few months:
- Jobran Tweiny was assassinated
- 6 ministers 3takafo (in Dec 2005)
- March 2006, TAWELET EL 7ewar (Berri was setting the subject not march14)
- July 2007 (HA WAR)
- October 2007: 7okomet we7de wataneye propaganda followed by ministers resignation and CAMPING IN DT!
when did the gov had time to do what you are talking about?
Anyway, if this has to take place, then, the period 1988-1990 should be included because A LOT OF MONEY DISAPPEARED!
10. Mohammad | November 10th, 2007 at 6:06 pm
*correction: July war and 7okomet we7de wataneyeh in 2006 not 2007

Well, I already know that HA is alreading planting hashishes and other drug shit in Lebanon. Actually not only HZ, it is a policy for Iran. Iran is also supervising drugs manufacturing in Afghanistan. It’s a good income source, and a “way of fighting the west, by sending them drugs to weaken and destroy their society”. That’s how they justify it religiously. I actually see that Iran and HA are the devil by himself.
