Hey bud, I beat ya to the punch on this oneeasyt65 said:FBI's Mueller: Hezbollah Busted in Mexican Smuggling Operation
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/3/30/223801.shtml?s=lh
FBI Director Robert Mueller said this week that his agency busted a smuggling ring organized by the terrorist group Hezbollah that had operatives cross the Mexican border to carry out possible terrorist attacks inside the U.S.
"This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States,” Mueller told a House Appropriations subcommittee during a Tuesday hearing on the FBI's budget.
In a stunning revelation, Mueller admitted that Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some of its operatives across the border, telling the House committee: "That was an organization that we dismantled and identified those persons who had been smuggled in. And they have been addressed as well.”
Hezbollah was responsible for the single most deadly terrorist attack against the U.S. before 9/11 - the Oct. 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 243 U.S. troops.
In November, an al-Qaida operative who was on the FBI's terrorist watch list was captured near the Mexican border, housed in a Texas jail and turned over to federal agents, according to Rep. John Culberson, R-Texas.
"A confirmed al-Qaida terrorist, an Iraqi national, was held in the Brewster County jail," Rep. Culberson told ABC Radio host Sean Hannity. "He was captured in Mexico. This was within the last six weeks. He was turned over to the FBI."

Anyone want to shut the borders NOW?
What? The Ring was broken up, but no one jailed the Soup Kitchen workers who fed the 'terrorists' who were snuck in by Hezbolla, like Hillary said would happen?! :shock:

danarhea said:This operation was broken up, but with our porous border, did others make it in, and are we facing attacks in the near future?
Gibberish said:Most definitely there will be another attack on American soil, as sad as it is to say so or even think it. The question is will the next attacks be orchestrated with power we are not aware of or a last ditch effort by a crumbling terrorist group?
tryreading said:Better question would be why aren't the people we elected solving the problem? Guess the Hispanic vote trumps homeland security. (Not a slam against Hispanics, but against selfish political cowards).
Gibberish said:Though I think certain items could be addressed that would help against another attack I do not believe it is something that could ever be stopped without a bit of luck on the defenders part.
