U.S.: Hizbullah Members Arrested in Drug Money-Weapons Plot
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced on Monday the arrest of Hizbullah members on charges of using millions of dollars from the sale of cocaine in the U.S. and Europe to purchase weapons in Syria.
The arrests targeted a Hizbullah network that provides "a revenue and weapons stream ... responsible for devastating terror attacks around the world," DEA Acting Deputy Administrator Jack Riley said in a statement.
Seven countries, including France, Germany, Italy and Belgium, were involved in the operation, which apprehended four individuals. The investigation began last February, with the DEA saying that additional arrests were likely.
This investigation is a result of leads developed during the probe into the Lebanese Canadian Bank, it said.
The Lebanese subsidiary of Societe Generale (SGBL) acquired the assets of the Lebanese Canadian Bank in 2011, after the latter was accused by Washington of money laundering and ties to Hizbullah.
Hizbullah has sent thousands of fighters to Syria to support the regime of President Bashar Assad against rebels seeking to topple him.
The party is officially labeled a terrorist group by the U.S.

All of America is built on narcotics. Yet they have the nerve to accuse others of dirty business.
American hypocrites.

Lebanon's drug lord Nouh zoaiter is a commander in the resistance. He actually appears on TV interviews and talks about the resistance. Maybe this also is a global conspiracy.
