US concerned over Hezbollah, Iran link to drug cartels

Share:

When Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced her concerns on Wednesday over intelligence reports that Latin American drug cartels are closely linked with Hezbollah and Iran, many within the U.S. law enforcement community were grateful that Obama Administration officials were finally acknowledging what cops already knew.

“We are concerned about the activities of Iran and Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere,” the top U.S. envoy told the House Committee on Foreign Affairs at a hearing.

Washington recognizes Hezbollah, a Shiite militant group in Lebanon, as a terrorist organization, while Iran’s disputed nuclear program is resulted in sanctions by Washington and its allies.

“We continue to monitor the situation closely. We are aware of and concerned about allegations that some Latin American drug trafficking organizations are linked with Hezbollah and Iran,” Clinton said, vowing to take “appropriate action” to counter any threat that may arise.

Acknowledging that Washington has not found information to verify “a lot of the allegations,” Clinton drew attention to Iran’ s attempted assassination of the Saudi ambassador to the United States, a case unveiled by U.S. authorities in October 2011, calling it “a very large question mark and wake up call.”

“We are continuing to look for direct links and we are engaged very extensively with our partners in the hemisphere, both to educate them about the dangers posed by Iran and Hezbollah and also to work with them to heighten our intelligence sharing,” she said.

“While many of us in law enforcement applaud Secretary Clinton, we’re still wondering what [President Barack] Obama and Attorney General [Eric] Holder are planning to do. They appear too busy — having guns smuggled into Mexico and harassing law enforcement officers for trying to protect Americans — to come up with a plan to thwart narco-terrorist coalitions on our own doorstep,” said former police detective and military intelligence officer Michael Snopes.

This was not the first time U.S. lawmakers from both parties were warned about Latin America’s vulnerability to radical Islam. In 2007, the Bush Administration’s chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine General Peter Pace, warned members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that elements of radical Islamic groups were active in South America recruiting and training terrorists.

U.S. intelligence officials in the past have told the Law Enforcement Examiner that an alliance exists between Mexican and Colombian drug gangs as Islamic terror groups. Iranian military and intelligence members are said to be in Latin American countries such as Venezuela. In addition, terrorist groups — such as the Iranian backed Hezbollah — are being harbored in Central/South American nations.

    True, except they do not know which “KHAZOOK” are they going to ride on!!!! They are slowly losing their butcher friend ass-aid, shortly they will be cut off from iran, Israel is always on the watch, their drug dealing in the Americas and Europe are exposed. These loonies will not have a friend to turn to, eventually they will kill themselves and self-eradicate so they can all be recognized as martyrs in the name of freedom, liberation of Palestine and the illusion that they have defeating Israel.

  5. The drug cartels in S.America are all CIA run. The drugs in Afghanistan are also CIA operated. However the Drugs in Balbak are HA run and operated. I think on this issue maybe the two work together from time to time.

    Anything is possible when large amounts of money are involved. They actually stopped some weapons shipments from HA to the opposition from Lebanon. Not donations but sales. Money makes the world go round.

      1. The CIA runs the drugs in Afghanistan and S.America. Its a fact that production went up 7000 times since nato went into Afghanistan and now 90% of of the global supply is produced in Afghanistan . Europe and America consume 80% of the worlds heroin so basic statistics would tell you that a large amount of it comes from Afghanistan on military cargo planes that dont pass customs. The taliban didnt allow heroin fields. The Coke in S.America is also imported by the CIA using a CIA run small airport in Mena Ak.

        Balbek – Hermil area in Lebanon is where all the cocaine thats sold in Europe is grown. I dont know if you go up to that area but its pretty much in the open and in the 80s and 90s it was grown on the side of the highway openly.

        They might use some shia or HA / Iran stooges for some distribution or transportation in Latin America only to frame them later on.

          yes and they are using human bodies as fertilizer coming fresh from syria as martyrs  so its clean money. halal mot3a money

          1. I told you the NWO sucks and you all thought I was crazy…. I think the CIA moves it and International bankers force farmer with mortgages to buy it or else they foreclose on them!! YES YES ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER NOW!

            Seriously though the drug industry is controlled by the CIA. Not as an organization but elements (high ranking). The Iran contra scandal was basically when the lid was blown and Col.North admitted it to the senate. The contras in Nicaragua paid for weapons with cocaine it was flown into the U.S under supervision from the CIA and Bill Clintons younget brother. The same operation is still going on now.

          that is one of the reason Putin has started to hate USA

          1. Putin always hated the U.S he is a product of the KGB and resents the way the economy was handled under U.S supervision in Russia after the fall of the USSR.

        4.  yazidi, Yes we can say HA runs drugs in Lebanon since its grown in their territory and they provide the protection probably in exchange for a cut of the action. Or maybe the farmers and dealers get a cut of the action from HA I dont know. I do know that most of the drugs in Lebanon is grown in HA controlled areas and thats not a secret……

  7. Nice way to practice your religion. Become buddy buddies with Drug Cartels. As if the True God needed Drug Lords to do His work.

    1 John 5:

    19  We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies
    under the sway of the wicked one.

    20  And we know that the Son of God has come and has given
    us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is
    true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
