NYTIMES: ISLAMO-NAZIS GET MONEY FROM INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRAFFICKING

Last February, the Obama administration accused one of Lebanon’s famously secretive banks of laundering money for an international cocaine ring with ties to the Shiite militant group Hezbollah.

Now, in the wake of the bank’s exposure and arranged sale, its ledgers have been opened to reveal deeper secrets: a glimpse at the clandestine methods that Hezbollah — a terrorist organization in American eyes that has evolved into Lebanon’s pre-eminent military and political power — uses to finance its operations. The books offer evidence of an intricate global money-laundering apparatus that, with the bank as its hub, appeared to let Hezbollah move huge sums of money into the legitimate financial system, despite sanctions aimed at cutting off its economic lifeblood.

At the same time, the investigation that led the United States to the bank, the Lebanese Canadian Bank, provides new insights into the murky sources of Hezbollah’s money. While law enforcement agencies around the world have long believed that Hezbollah is a passive beneficiary of contributions from loyalists abroad involved in drug trafficking and a grab bag of other criminal enterprises, intelligence from several countries points to the direct involvement of high-level Hezbollah officials in the South American cocaine trade.

One agent involved in the investigation compared Hezbollah to the Mafia, saying, “They operate like the Gambinos on steroids.”

A Lebanese national, who U.S. authorities say is the ringleader of a vast internationaldrug smuggling ring with links to the Hizbullah terror group, was indicted Tuesday on drugand money laundering charges, The Associated Press reported.

The indictment against announced 47-year-old Ayman Joumaa, who is currently at large, alleges he led a conspiracy that, among other activities, sold nearly 100 tons of Colombian cocaine to the Zetas drug cartel in Mexico between 2005 and 2007 that was ultimately smuggled into the United States.

THIS SHOULD COME AS NO SHOCK.

SCUM WHOSE RELIGION TEACHES THEM THAT MURDERING YOUR DAUGHTER CAN RESTORE FAMILY HONOR AND THAT THE 9/11 ATTACKS WERE GOOD ARE OF COURSE CAPABLE OF DRUG TRAFFICKING. AND GENOCIDE.

WE OUGHT TO DEMAND THE ARREST OF THE ENTIRE HIZBALLAH LEADERSHIP AND THEN DEMAND EXTRADITION TO... GITMO.

REMINDER: HIZBALLAH ARE THE STOOGES OF IRAN - SO I'D GUESS IRAN IS UP TO ITS EYEBALL IN DRUG TRAFFICKING TOO.
