Report: 3 Alleged Hizbullah Members Arrested in Mexico

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

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.

I wonder what they were arrested for? Could it have anything to do with the white powder or maybe they just vacationing.

a few years back a man got arrested and sentenced to 30 years in prison in the states. the guy was Lebanese from the south, lived and worked in the states, and had just come back form vacations in Lebanon.

His crime? he arrived in the US with more cigarets than the legal maximum, and he was sentenced for smuggling in view of funding a terrorist organization because he used to send money to support his family and since they are in south Lebanon they were automatically considered Hezbollah.
It took years and years of appeals and court proceedings before the judiciary realized how excessive and irrational the sentence was. This goes to say beware of hasty accusations and condemnations.

FT/Mowaten: Tu as un article de presse pour étayer ton histoire? Because I'm simply not going to believe what you say without proof...

mohammad hammoud's version:
http://www.mohamadhammoud.org/

there were a few errors in details of my above comments, such as:
the sentence wasnt 30 but 155 years, it was later reduced to 30 years.
mohammad sent money not to his family but supposedly to a welfare NGO considered close to hezbollah
mohammad's case relied on the testimony of said harb, who was offered a deal if he testified that mohammad had sent the money. was it even true? or did he do it to get a deal for himself?

FT, t'es complètement déglingué. Irrécupérable. Demande à ton patron ou il se fait soigner, bien que ça ne lui réussisse pas plus que ça, qui sait sur le long terme. L'espoir fait vivre et il ne te reste plus que cela!

Mowaten: merci pour les liens, ils sont intéressants. Je vais approfondir ma documentation sur cette histoire interpellante.

BSThrower....now u like the Israelis because they are sharing your warped opinion on M14. Your such a moron and still don't know why are on a Lebanese site and not on your homeland Tehran site!

Thumb Bandoul 10 September 2012, 18:32

This sanctimonious BS from a person who advocates the shooting of M14 supporters in the head and dissolving them in acid. Go look in the mirror, if you still have an urge to spew your hate afterwards then put a sock in it. You are the No 1 hypocrite on this forum and you have pledged your allegiance to a man who is now allied with the same regime that humiliated him and chased him out of b3abda with his tail tucked between his legs, he is a coward and a denier that the regime he is bowing to, is holding Lebanese prisoners and denying it. If you had an ounce of morality and ethics you wouldn't even spew your filth here. I pity you and feel sorry for those who have to interact with you on a daily basis. You are warped and a decaying, soulless ghoul.

What says they belong to Hizbullah Naharnet? Do you know that the Pope who will visit Lebanon is an Hizbullah agent?:)

Default-user-icon haydar haydar (Guest) 10 September 2012, 11:54

Nah Atef, but the Pope should never be allowed to come to Lebanon because he visited the Zionist entity.

Let's dance, one, two, beat yourself on the head, ya Hussein, ya Hussein, hop, hop, boycott the Pope.. hop, hop, labbayka ya Nasrallah w la immaka ya Bashar, boycott the Zionist supporter.. smash your head make it bleed, jump, jump, Resistance, Nasrallah w boycott the Pope w bass.

Irrelevent of whom they are if they were arrested for drugs then good justice has been served, M16 or M18 or M21 heading out of London....

With Names Like George and Justin is it now safe to believe that Hezboullah does have Christian Members thus making the argument of a lot of people on this site regarding Hezboullah only has Shiite Members no longer fit for purpose and valid, that is if in fact these 3 poor guys have not been set up by the likes of the FBI and CIA as they sure love entrapment over the USA....

Missing forces 10 September 2012, 11:47

how do you know these guys are christian, they could be atheist. BTW mohammed in most westrn countries has changed his name to Michael. a thorn by any other name is still a thorn. I think it is irrelevant who these guys are,if they are wanted for something and got arrested what is the big deal, it is not like HA are saints or anything..

Joseph Ali Kibbeh, remember the Hezballah member who set up a terrorist cell in Egypt has a officially issued Lebanese ID with a fake name.

Hizb-cocaine is so clean. Nasrallah will say he knows nothing of this. It is an Israeli plot of some kind.

Looks like the money from Iran and Syria is drying up.

How can a "georges" be a HA member? We know full well that HA does not hire christians. I think the filthy zionist media is creating this bad advertising against HA.

Lebanon_first
as forces was saying above
A lot of people change their names in western countries. Chinese do it (i know a chuck whose real name is wong-yao), and lots of Arabs do it too, and wouldnt' surprise me if someone who wanted or trying to avoid scrutiny, might try to change his first name to a christian one that doesn't stand out.

Thumb the1phoenix 10 September 2012, 17:26

One is also called Long Wang, just joking, but yeah, many foreigners change their names when abroad. Mustafa becomes Steve, Ali becomes Al, Mohamad becomes Moe, Hamoudeh becomes Moody. Hussein becomes Charles, man, they all change their names to melt.

Hezbollah's crime rings are being busted one after the other, in Europe, the US, Canada, Latin Amreeka, Africa, one by one. Let no one try to marginalize what it happening, everyone knows that the walls of the Wilayet El Fakih empire are crumbling. The sun will soon set for good for them. Yalla, come back to your Lebanese brothers, it's the only refuge for you.

God bless America for despite all its faults, it remains the beacon for freedom, the model to live up to and the envy of the entire world. If America falls, the world falls with it, if it stands, there is hope for all to defeat tyranny, oppression and subjugation.
