U.S. Arrests Hezbollah Agents in Europe / GOD’S OWN CRIMINAL DRUG DEALERS
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration arrested several members of Hezbollah, including Mohamad Noureddine, who was placed under sanctions last week by the U.S. Treasury for laundering money for the terrorist organization. The individuals arrested are believed to include leaders of Hezbollah’s European operations. They stand accused of using millions of dollars from the sale of cocaine in the United States and Europe to buy weapons in Syria. The arrests were the result of a year-long investigation that included support from seven countries, including France, Germany, Italy and Belgium. www.mesop.de
