The A-team of Terrorists

Worried about Al Qaeda? Maybe there are more reasons to worry about Hezbollah?


Middle East Times: Hezbollah, an Imminent Danger


November 17, 2008


Former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage called Hezbollah "the A-team of terrorists, while al-Qaida may actually be the B-team."

[---]

Hezbollah has long had a presence in Latin America. It is believed to maintain a large base of operations in the tri-border area where Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina converge.

Flight 447

Two key figures in the global battle against illegal arms trade was on the doomed Air France Flight 447.


Key figures in global battle against illegal arms trade lost in Air France crash


AMID THE media frenzy and speculation over the disappearance of Air France's ill-fated Flight 447, the loss of two of the world's most prominent figures in the war on the illegal arms trade and international drug trafficking has been virtually overlooked.

[---]

Also travelling with Dreyfus on the doomed flight was his friend and colleague Ronald Dreyer, a Swiss diplomat and co-ordinator of the Geneva Declaration on Armed Violence who had worked with UN missions in El Salvador, Mozambique, Azerbaijan, Kosovo and Angola. Both men were consultants at the Small Arms Survey, an independent think tank based at Geneva's Graduate Institute of International Studies. The Survey said on its website that Dryer had helped mobilise the support of more than 100 countries to the cause of disarmament and development.

[---]

Dreyfus knew that many of the weapons from the so-called tri-border area between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina were reaching Rio drug gangs.

Mutt, look at it in this sort of way if you would.

The anti-terror and mafia task forces have been keeping their attention focused on certain areas of the world for years. Well, these mafia leaders and terror groups have either caught on to what these task forces have been doing in the so-called hot spots for years. If you were to think about it, yes we have forgot about the backyard down in South America. I'll just say this being because of our loss of focus on South America, these rebel groups and drug cartels that we took on back in the 1990s are starting to spring back up. This being due to our intelligence and federal law enforcement agencies focusing more on the terrorist groups headquartered over in Iran, Syria, and Jordan. Top that off with some of the governmental bodies of South American countries either being to inept or the severity of corruption in some of these countries. to battle these mafia families and terrorist groups. Another thing that has helped these groups basically set up shop in this area is easy access to Ports of Call. If you look at the map, you can clearly see that four of the busiest ports in South America are well within distance of the area.

In regards to Air France Flight 447....

There is that good chance that the reason why this craft went down was due to terrorism. I mean you have two of the leading figures in the battle dealing with illegal arms trade that were on the same flight. Somebody somewhere knows exactly what happened to Flight 447 and they are not going to come out and admit to their wrongdoing. I believe with out a shadow of a reasonable doubt that Hezbollah was behind the Flight 447 crash. It is a strong possibility that a bomb did bring that aircraft down over the Mid-Atlantic Ocean. Where that plane went down was over some of the deepest deep sea trenches in the Atlantic. If debris recovery is at all possible, the debris would just be so far down under the water that it would be impossible to bring any wreckage to the surface. In that case, we may never know what it actually was that brought down the aircraft.

A crazy storm seems to have hit the Tri-Border Area...


RIA Novosti: Storm kills 14 in Argentina, Brazil

A state of emergency has been declared in the Brazilian border town of Guaraciaba. The storm damaged 70% of the buildings, as well as power lines and communications, in the town with the population of 10,000.

At least 10 people died and 50 were injured when the storm, described as "a violent tornado," hit the town of Santa Rosa in the northeastern Argentinean province of Misiones



BBC: Fourteen dead in S America storm

The storm also damaged homes in Paraguay.

San Pedro mayor Orlando Wolfart described the devastation as "incredible".

"This is something we've never seen," he told reporters.

[---]

In Paraguay there were reports that 700 rural properties, as well as crops, had been damaged.

The temperature in the capital Asuncion fell from 35C to 12C.

More TBA (bump)


This is interesting. Tri-Border Area, FARC, Chinese gangs, Mexican drug lords and Al Qaeda.


FARC Cashes in on Mexican Drug War

Jun 8th, 2010


Dr. Maria Velez de Berliner said that the “FARC is not interested in attacking the U.S, they don’t have the field capability to do so.” However, she warns that FARC’s business with other terrorists and drug traffickers does threaten the U.S.

[---]

She also mentioned that the FARC is working with Chinese gangs in the tri-border area of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. These gangs could potentially buy and upgrade the FARC’s semi-submersibles and use them in their human trafficking efforts, allowing them to potentially insert operatives into the U.S.

Al-Qaeda also will benefit from the FARC’s new ventures, and could conceivably pay them, or the Mexican drug lords, to help them smuggle in operatives. In fact, Al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia, Al-Shabaab, may have already done so as someone connected to the group oversaw the smuggling of 270 Somalis into the U.S. through Mexico.

A suspected Hezbollah financier has been arrested in the Tri-Border Area.


Suspected Hezbollah financier arrested in Paraguay

(AFP) – 2 days ago


Interpol said Tuesday it has arrested a Lebanese national suspected of funneling money to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah in Paraguay in the tri-border area with Argentina and Brazil.

Moussa Hamdan, 38, was arrested in Ciudad del Este, part of the Triple Frontier, a region the United States has repeatedly cited as being exploited by militant groups that "finance terrorist activities."

[---]

The Interpol chief in Paraguay, Jose Chena, said justice officials would decide within about six weeks whether to extradite Hamdan to the United States, where an arrest warrant has been issued against him.

Paraguay to extradite Lebanese 'terrorist' to US

05 January 2011


An appeals court in Paraguay on Tuesday ruled in favor of extraditing a Lebanese man wanted in the United States on charges linked to raising funds for the militant group Hezbollah.

Moussa Ali Hamdan, 38, was arrested in mid-June 2010 in a hotel in Ciudad del Este, the hub of the busy and often lawless tri-border area between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay.

"A recipe for disaster" and a possible future threat. Hezbollah in the TBA.


Examining Hezbollah’s Activities in the Americas

07/08/2011

It’s known that Hezbollah has established itself in the tri-border area (TBA) of South America where Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay meet.

Support from South American countries like Bolivia and Venezuela has allowed Hezbollah to operate freely in South America. The group’s ties to the Iranian government, paired with Iran’s interest in relationships with South American countries, could be a recipe for disaster, some experts say.

Examining Hezbollah’s Activities in the Americas - page 2

Other experts on the panel agreed that at the moment Hezbollah didn’t present an immediate threat, but they said that it could in the future.

Witnesses suggested Hezbollah was positioning in the Americas as a defense in case United States attacked Iran.
