Politico: How Trump Is Going After Hezbollah in America’s Backyard
The pro-Iranian militant group is up to no good in Latin America—and U.S. officials are pushing back.
The Trump administration is pushing back aggressively against what the intelligence community often refers to as the “Iran Threat Network” or ITN, and as part of that campaign it is especially keen to focus on the activities of Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian Lebanese militia, in Latin America. Now, new revelations about a Hezbollah cold case from 1994 underscore the importance of rolling back the group’s footprint in the region.
On July 19, 1994, the day after Hezbollah operatives blew up the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the group sent a suicide bomber to take down a flight on Alas Chiricanas Airlines, a Panamanian commuter airliner carrying mostly Jewish passengers, including several Americans. The case languished for years, but the FBI appears to have recently collected new information which, together with evidence gleaned from other current investigations, is likely to serve as the basis for a variety of actions aimed at Hezbollah, the lynchpin of the ITN and Iran’s most powerful proxy group.

Hez. been there since 2013
Fred,
Why do you even bother with anything other than cutting and pasting?
Hezbollah is here in the U.S. also. Why do you think there are black market cigarettes being sold by Lebanese? Some of those sellers send money back to Hezbo.
It is the same deal with the Iguaçu Falls area in Paraguay. I've been there and it has been sketchy for a long while. Before you go learn the languages and learn where you can be and at what time day.
Did someone at the New York Slime (NYS), a former newspaper, write a memo, I mean an article, giving people like you permission in conversations with others to date Hezbo's presence in the region in to 2013 and not a day earlier?
That must be it, because Politico dates Hezbo activity to at least 1994 in their article, but you ignored that, because you are too timid to write a letter to the editor of the NYS and ask "Mother May I"
Utterly predictable and pathetic.

"Scholars differ as to when Hezbollah came to be a distinct entity.
Various sources list the official formation of the group as early as 1982 whereas Diaz and Newman maintain that Hezbollah remained an amalgamation of various violent Shi'a extremists until as late as 1985.
Another version states that it was formed by supporters of Sheikh Ragheb Harb, a leader of the southern Shia resistance killed by Israel in 1984. Regardless of when the name came into official use, a number of Shi'a groups were slowly assimilated into the organization, such as Islamic Jihad, Organization of the Oppressed on Earth and the Revolutionary Justice Organization. These designations are considered to be synonymous with Hezbollah by the US, Israel and Canada."

"International Terrorism will never end until US dominance end , in the past it was the communist now it is the islamist" - Anon
Either you are a foreigner, a paid troll or you were educated in an American university by leftists.
Seems like Muslims were terrorising things pretty good in 1631.

The difference between terrorism , a raid or an all out invasion is one thing, the balance of power.
The Muslims have never stopped attacking for over a 1,000 years.
Maybe Anon should be better read and grow a pair.
Muslim Anon,
Piracy was the rule in middle age wither by Muslim moorish , European privateer , ottoman or the italian cities state and each has his cause , terrorism has nothing to do with balance of power ,
I do not recall slave markets in Amsterdam, London or Paris, whereby people would go to North Africa or the Middle East and make raids to capture and sell people in Europe.
“The Royal Navy established the West Africa Squadron (or Preventative Squadron) at substantial expense in 1808 after Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807. The squadron's task was to suppress the Atlantic slave trade by patrolling the coast of West Africa.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Africa_Squadron
“African Slave Trade Patrol[1] was part of the suppression of the Atlantic slave trade between 1819 and the beginning of the American Civil War in 1861. Due to the abolitionist movement in the United States, a squadron of American navy warships were assigned to catch slave traders in and around Africa.”

Islam is rife with slavery and it is codified in the Koran.
Saudi Arabia had slavery until 1962. There was slavery in Darfur in the last 15 years. Mauretania still has slavery.
We have the slave trade going on in Libya this year.

it funny how Muslim have been attacking for 1000 year yet only now its problem
It was a problem for the Byzantines, Persians, Chinese, Spanish, Visigoths, Portuguese, Franks, French, Taliban, Germans, Hungarians, Russians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Poles, Serbs, Croats, Greeks, and so many more peoples.
- AL Qaeda, a Taliban ally, attacked us on 911. The Taliban refused to hand Osama over.
- Sea passage is already guaranteed by law. You should read up on it and get out more.
- Iraqi oil was put up for bids in open competition at a public auction for the whole world to participate in. China won and they are no friend of the U.S.
