Cartels ♥ Terrorists
In recent months, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has annexed a private aircraft hanger at the Tucson International Airport. Their presence is intended to assist the United States Border Patrol. However, they have no intention of halting drug smuggling, human trafficking, or general illegal immigration, per se. Rather, according to an anonymous officer within the Tucson Police Department, the FBI has established this post in order to observe and report upon increasing communication and collaboration between Mexican cartels and Islamic terrorist organizations – an association that the Department of Justice and FBI have long questioned and whitewashed…untill recently.
The United States/Mexico border has long been criticized as a blatant weakness which might be exploited by terrorists wishing to gain entry into our country. In 2008, the United States Border Patrol reported finding 60 pieces of Islamic paraphernalia within the Tucson sector alone. It would require little effort for a Muslim terrorist of Arab ethnicity to disguise themself as a hispanic in order to illegally cross the border. In fact, there are over 1 million people of Arab descent currently living in Mexico, and tens of millions living throughout Central and South America, which has been a popular place of emigration for Arabs and Muslims for several centuries.
However, this conversation is anything but hypothetical supposition. In 2003, a Hezbollah operative was arrested in Detroit, and had illegally gained access to the US via Mexico. Hezbollah is a Lebonese-Shiite Muslim militia, bankrolled by the Iranian government, and (as of now) is a designated terrorist group. Hezbollah has established base camps throughout South and Central America, and assists cartels in drug, weapon and human smuggling throughout the region. Throughout the 1990s, and directly corresponding with an influx of radical Islamic groups within the region, South America witnessed a wave of anti-semitic violence.
Hezbollah’s power and influence in the Americas is becoming stronger and more worrisome as of late due to dubious, curious and exceptionally open relationships being kindled between Islamic groups of the Middle East and Communist governments of Central and South America, particularly Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. This seems to have become a strategic relationship founded on anti-American spite. Chavez often hosts Hezbollah and Iranian representatives, and has traveled to Iran on several occasions.
In 2007, the FBI published and distributed a communication warning of a terrorist plan to wage an assault on the Fort Huachuca military base in southeastern Arizona. Fort Huachuca is major military communications hub, and trainer of translators serving in the middle east. The warning described how jihadists, some of whom were already within the United States, were paying cartel smuggling rings, hypothesized to be the Sinaloa Cartel, as much as $20,000 per head or in kind payments, such as weaponry or drugs. The jihadists, disguised as Mexicans, would be smuggled across the Rio Grande River near Laredo, Texas while their arms, including automatic assault rifles and shoulder-mounted rockets, would be smuggled into the United States via underground tunnels in southern Arizona.
After public reports were published in news media outlets, the FBI began to change their tune, downplaying the threat, and even referring to sources within their own office, within the Drug Enforcement Agency, and even cartel enformants, as “dubious” and absent of substance, despite the impressive and dramatic plethora of highly specific details contained within the report. If the threat was not considered credible, why did the FBI deem it necessary to brief the Defense Intelligence Agency, the CIA, the Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of Justice, as well as law enforcement offices throughout the country. Furthermore, why would Fort Huachuca have been prompted to overhaul their security operations throughout the base?
In March of 2011, documents were obtained from the Department of Justice by Pajamas Media outlining a volatile admission by federal prosecutors revealing a massive smuggling operation throughout the America conducted by a Somali and Al-Shabaab member named Ahmed Mohammed Dhakane. By Dhakane’s own admission, he stated that “he believed they would fight against the U.S. if the jihad moved from overseas locations to the U.S. mainland.”
In February 2001, Mahmoud Kourani crossed the border from Tijuana in the trunk of a car, heading for Dearborn, Michigan, a hotbed of Islamic fundamentalism. Kourani, who federal prosecutors claimed had received training in weapons, intelligence, and spy craft in Iran, bribed a Mexican embassy official in Beirut to obtain a visa. Kourani’s brother is a known Hezbollah agent in Lebanon.
In December 2002, Salim Boughader was arrested for smuggling 200 Lebanese, including Hezbollah operatives, across the border. Boughader had previously worked for Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV satellite network.
In July 2004, Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed was arrested at a Texas airport boarding a flight to New York. According to the Washington Post, she was connected to a Pakistani terrorist group. Believed to be ferrying instructions to U.S.-based al-Qaeda operatives, authorities issued a terror alert for Washington D.C., New York, and New Jersey.
In January 2005, two Hamas operatives, Mahmoud Khalil and Ziad Saleh, were arrested as part of a criminal enterprise in Los Angeles. Both had entered the U.S. after paying a smuggler $10,000 each to take them across the border.
Rep. John Culberson said in November 2005 that an Iraqi al-Qaeda operative on the terror watch list was captured living near the Mexico-Texas border.
In 2007, the United States Army confirmed that 5 Iraqi military personnel training within the United States fled during the middle of training from Fort Huachuca in Arizona - their location still remains unknown.
In February of 2008, 3 Afghan jihadists with forged Mexican passports were arrested in India en route to France.
In October 2008, several dozen Hezbollah operatives were arrested in Columbia as part of a multi-million dollar drug trafficking and money laundering ring.
The Saudi terrorist, Adnan G. el Shukrijumah, infamous for his pursuit of the construction and detonation of a dirty bomb within the United States, is known to travel under the guise of a Mexican passport.
In April of 2011, the Columbian government offered to extradict Syrian narco-terrorist, and wanted criminal, Walid “The Turk” Makled to the United States, an (in)famous ”businessman” in Venezuela, and leading drug manufacturer in South America. The DEA estimates that approximately 60% of foreign terrorist organizations are associated with the drug trade, accumulating hundreds of millions of dollars a year – the primary funding agent for many of these terrorist groups. Eric Holder’s Department of Justice turned down the extradition – Mr Makled is now currently under the protection of Hugo Chavez.
