Hezbollah has long been known to be extremely active in South America, with a large-scale operation centered in the so-called "Moslem Triangle," the tri-border region where the boundaries of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay meet. It has long been reported that in this remote and largely lawless reigon, where there is a relatively large Arab population, Hezbollah operates terrorist training camps, as well as earning millions of dollars from a massive and untaxed cross-border trade in counterfeit luxury goods, consumer electronics and pirated movies, music and software."

In Western Europe, it is the drug trade, car theft rings and people smuggling that are the backbone of Hezbollah’s criminal operations. A large percentage of the cannabis and heroin consumed by Europeans either originates or is processed in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley. It is a trade whose estimated annual income is thought to exceed $1 billion, of which Hezbollah controls the majority share. Hezbollah uses its involvement in people smuggling both to provide a means of transporting illegal drugs from the Middle East and North Africa into Europe and as a way of introducing more potential supporters to its existing networks in Western European states. Similarly, the cross-border trade in stolen luxury vehicles provides both a way of smuggling illegal drugs between countries and a steady revenue stream from the sale of the stolen cars themselves.
We need to stop them now. George Bush and Israel must not back down to them now.
Israel should burn the Bekaa Valley. We need to wipe out Hezbollah's ability to grow and distribute drugs. How could Lebanon allow this cancer to exist. How in effective is the United Nations. They have not followed their own rules. Israel followed the rules and see where they are today.
that area of South America is unbelieveable-many years ago when i was an INS agent iwe arrested a group of Koreans who were carrying legitimate Paraguayan passports indicating thay were citizens of that country-they couldn't even speak spanish!i don't think south koreans pose a threat to our security,but if they could buy citizenship there with pocket cash,so could anyone else

Will our children curse this day that we didnt have the courage to end this scurge when we had the chance.
If we had the intel the time to hit them all over the world right now! As Israel pounds them in Lebanon we should be pounding them with our spec ops.
Agreed They are the US's big problem in IRAQ too. You can bet on that.
Cincidentally, that is also the area the ODESSA operated in. What a coincidence! Old nazis and sand nazis..
Please identify yourself when you pass the abandoned one-room stone hut I have already staked out on the farthest point. I was planning to bring only one teacup, but I will pack 2.
National Security is a joke.. a bad joke..
The ultimate head of national security seems to be a comedian.. Yeah you know who I mean..
Lets see- Jimmuh Cahtah, Clinton. Clinton bombed the wrong side in Bosnia, and in doing so strengthened the illegal Islamic criminal trade in everything from human sex slaves to drugs and weapons through that corridor. Cahtah ignored everything, except to offer praise to the growing world wide Islamic terrorist organizations. Of course, there were other minor players as well, such as John Kerry, who did all he could to stop Regan from shutting down other blossoming terrorist inroads.
Hey Gramps - that was a good one!
I will surely identify myself and it will be my pleasure to sip tea with you. The WORLD has gone nuts.
Clinton bombed the wrong side in Bosnia? He must have been distracted by something....
"Cincidentally, that is also the area the ODESSA operated in. What a coincidence! Old nazis and sand nazis.."
People, who were in that area a decade or so ago, said it was like visiting Germany re the people and language with ages from kids to great grandparents. The Uboats brought the great grandparents to S America, and their fellow Nazis took them to this triangle area.
