U.S. Federal Judge Richard M. Berman sentenced on Tuesday a New York resident who broadcast satellite television programming of the Hizbullah terrorist organization to more than a year in prison. Saleh Elahwal pleaded guilty to providing material support to the terrorist organization's Al Manar news network between September 2005 and August 2006. He was sentenced to a year and five months.

Elahwal's sentencing comes two months after the main defendant, Javed Iqbal, was ordered by a federal judge in Manhattan to serve five years and nine months. Iqbal, dubbed by a prosecutor as “Hizbullah’s man in New York City," ran his business from a Brooklyn storefront and the garage of his Staten Island home, which had satellite dishes in the backyard.

Hizbullah is a proxy government of the Republic of Iran. Ahmadinejad's regime puts a media blackout against his dictatorial policies. It's about time that the U.S. prevents Iranian-sponsored terror TV from being aired on American airwaves.

That’s alright we’re going to spend billions to bring more of them to our shores to pick up the slack.
