Report: 3 Alleged Hizbullah Members Arrested in Mexico
An alleged Hizbullah member has been arrested in Mexico and handed over to U.S. authorities, Mexican media reported Sunday.
Reforma newspaper identified the detained man as Rafik Mohammed Labboun Allaboun, a U.S. national, who was wanted by the U.S. government.
Allaboun was arrested in the city of Merida late Saturday as part of an operation conducted by Mexican immigration agents and local police, the report said.
Two other suspected Hizbullah members -- George Abdalah Elders and Justin Yasser Safa of Belize -- were arrested along with Allaboun, according to the paper.
Since U.S. law enforcement authorities had put out an international alert on Allaboun, he was sent to Houston, Texas, on Sunday, the report said.
The fate of the other two remains unclear.
