FBI's Mueller: Hezbollah Busted in Mexican Smuggling Operation
2006-03-31
FBI Director Robert Mueller said this week that his agency busted a smuggling ring organized by the terrorist group Hezbollah that had operatives cross the Mexican border to carry out possible terrorist attacks inside the U.S.

"This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States,” Mueller told a House Appropriations subcommittee during a Tuesday hearing on the FBI's budget.

In a stunning revelation, Mueller admitted that Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some of its operatives across the border, telling the House committee: "That was an organization that we dismantled and identified those persons who had been smuggled in. And they have been addressed as well.”

Hezbollah was responsible for the single most deadly terrorist attack against the U.S. before 9/11 - the Oct. 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 243 U.S. troops.

In November, an al-Qaida operative who was on the FBI's terrorist watch list was captured near the Mexican border, housed in a Texas jail and turned over to federal agents, according to Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas.

"A confirmed al-Qaida terrorist, an Iraqi national, was held in the Brewster County jail," Rep. Culberson told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity. "He was captured in Mexico. This was within the last six weeks. He was turned over to the FBI."

Partake the bounty of illegal immigration and savor the most expensive products and services in the history of mankind. Please take the time and savor the "cheap" fruits of illegal immigration and behold the La Raza folks and the Greedy fuckwits who dazzle us with the most powerful tricknology ever, the appeal of something for nothing.

Be grateful and take the time and thank them for their generosity when your taxes go up or benifits/protections are cut for City, State, and Federal services.

and thank them for the Illegal Immigration Corporation and their overpriced race pimps for the..

>mature multi national drug smuggling rings,

#15  FBI's Mueller: Hezbollah Busted in Mexican Smuggling Operation

FBI Director Robert Mueller said this week that his agency busted a smuggling ring organized by the terrorist group Hezbollah that had operatives cross the Mexican border to carry out possible terrorist attacks inside the U.S.

here's some more good news GOOD NEWS, Fleeing terror suspect arrested

TORONTO - An alleged terrorist -- with links to al-Qaida and Osama bin Laden -- has been arrested in the GTA while trying to flee the country, Sun Media immigration sources say.

In one of the most significant terrorism arrests in Canada since 9/11, a man believed to be a captain of the Pakistani extremist organization Mujahedin-E-Lashkar-E-Tayyba, or LET, which is funded by Osama bin Laden and has direct ties to al-Qaida, was arrested March 16 by Canadian border service officers in Newmarket.

Intelligence sources say members of LET have been trained in Afghan terrorist camps.

Ontario immigration sources say 40-year-old Raja Ghulam Mustafa, a Pakistani national who went by the last name Murtaza, was arrested outside his home with a packed suitcase and a significant amount of cash on him.

#14  PS: Isn't this just one more excellent reason to go in and kick some Iranian mullah @ss?

#13  Isn't this the reason why we invented UAV technology? Better yet use ERAST birds like the Centurion for long duration aerial monitoring.

Unfortunately, our politicians simply do not want a solution to their own solution. Namely, all the illegal earnings that flow into Social Security from undocumented illegals using false SS numbers that help mask the way our pols are raping that milch cow.

#11  Well done, FBI! There've been a lot of complaints about the Fibbies here, and legitimately so. But they got it right on this one, and we can hope there's more of the same in the pipeline. Between FBI efforts, military interdiction in key areas (the 2000 wannabes stopped at the border by that Army unit based in Texas(?) in the past two months), and the Minutemen on watch both north and south, it seems we are regaining control of our borders without waiting for the Federal government to officially step in. And let's not forget all those lovely marches asserting the right of illegals to be here, that are turning the citizenry against them across the country.

And the weather outside my window is absolutely gorgeous, too. :-)

#10  This has got TV movie plot written all over it. No, seriously. And hey, Hezbollah, right, launch an attack over here. It worked out so great for the Taliban and all.

#9  Also, if this is true (I assume it is), it needs to be shouted from the rooftops and ASAP as Congress is considering Immigration "reform" now. What part of ILLEGAL don't those in power get? We are a nation of laws, and if you don't follow them, tough...go home and fix your own rickety country.

#8  How about a 700 mile sniper training area ?

Better yet, how about making some of those areas new explosives testing sites? Ya know, since the yahoos (not all Nevadans, just the yahoos) up in Nevada are upset over a lil' 700 ton planned test to be conducted next week. Test along the border in my mind. The craters would go a long way to building that saltwater canal that 3dc talked of.

#4  Just PUT UP A WALL AND MOAT NOW!
The moat should be a SaltWater canal from the Pacific to the Gulf. Deep enough to support sharks and saltwater crocs.

#3  ThatÂ’s right itÂ’s just the US racism against "brown people".

When or better yet will we ever get a Politician with a sack that will stand up and proclaim to these pansies that we have no "African American not Mexican American no Latin-American no Asian American just simply Americans or NOT-Americans period no ifs ands or buts".

Your family tree is irrelevant my family tree like most Americans who have spent generations in America is wide and touches many nations of the world. Do I get 3,4 ax tricks in front of American?

No one is racist against Irish because for generations they have just been called and called themselves AMERICANS. As long as every ethnic group continues to separate themselves from the rest of US they will be recognized by every next generation as separate.

The LLL's have absolutely destroyed Patriotism and concentration on what made US strong "many but one" its on the f*cking money and crest ect.. That one is AMERICAN you are or are not there is no mid way or add on. Patriotism and AMERICANISM should be taught in schools and we will finally again have many races but one AMERICA.

What happened to our fore fathers nation. Scratch that I know its called the peace-love-&-happiness movement AKA Liberalism/Socialism.

#2  Vicente Fox should be COMING HERE for a visit explanation! Having grannies and retirees in lawn chairs conducting "border watch" operations while we stew and fret over the fate of New Orleans or some meathead mullah in Iran is disgusting and shameful. Come on Washington, wake the **** up!
