Iran's Hizbullah Terrorist Base in Nicaragua - Global Agenda - News - Israel National News



Iran has established a Hizbullah terrorist training base in northern Nicaragua, according to a report by local media there. Operatives are being trained at the base to attack Israeli and U.S. targets in the event of a raid on Iranian nuclear installations, according to a report quoting the media, broadcast Thursday on Israeli radio.

Some 30 members of the Lebanon-based Hizbullah terrorist organization are allegedly stationed at the base, located near the border with Honduras. The base reportedly also serves as a central hub for weapons smugglers and money laundering by organized crime lords and drug cartels.

Some 30 members of the Lebanon-based Hizbullah terrorist organization are allegedly stationed at the base, located near the border with Honduras. The base reportedly also serves as a central hub for weapons smugglers and money laundering by organized crime lords and drug cartels.

The area has been blocked off the local residents, and all supplies are reportedly being shipped in from Tehran.

Less than two weeks ago, a group of 18 people was arraigned in a Managua courtroom after being accused of being involved in organized crime and money laundering. The group, posing as Mexican journalists, were detained while entering Nicaragua from Honduras following a tip-off and a subsequent search of the six vans they were travelling in yield bags of cash containing $9.2 million, according to local media. It is not still not clear who the suspects were, and under whose auspices they were funded.

Costa Rican Foreign Minister Jose Enrique Barantas has warned against the growing Iranian influence in Nicaragua, and its danger to Latin America. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has spent the past five years carefully making the rounds of Latin American countries, where he has taken the trouble to curry favor and invest heavily with the continent's most powerful regimes.


Among those with whom Iran has built up some of its strongest diplomatic relations are Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez, who heads the nation with the largest oil reserve in the Western hemisphere. Chavez, who has been battling cancer for more than a year, is also fighting to stay in power as he campaigns for re-election in the national polls on October 7, although the likelihood the ballot will fair seems dim.

Hizbullah, meanwhile, has for years been quietly developing its own drug trafficking routes and other illegal activities throughout Latin America in order to fund its terrorism against Israel.

I found out years ago that Venezuela owns CITGO, and refuse to buy gas there. Now that I know they're harboring terrorists, that clinches it for me. So, if there's a CITGO gas station/convenience store near you.... avoid it.

Americas enemies are surrounding us on all sides,Russia,Iran,China.......

The tentacles of Hezbollah now extend from Mexico all the way down into South America.

Inventory of Iranian missiles including quantity and range. Many are capable of reaching the US if launched from a Hezbollah base in Cuba, or Venezuela or from a freighter off the US coast. Can you imagine Obama handling another Cuban Missile Crisis?

I'm no expert but this sounds like they might be training Latin-American support groups for terrorist cells. While Hezbollah would have a very difficult time recruiting Latin-Americans to actually carryout suicide missions, they could use them to set up the means to carry them out in the US.

Let's face it, while it is not PC to racial profile we all know that Islamic Middle-Eastern peoples are more closely watched for suspicious activities. Meanwhile Latin-American gangs operate in the US with impunity, smuggling in people, tons of drugs and and literally getting away with murder. Also the goal of Iran to bring America to her knees aligns very close with the stated goals of LaRaza to carry out a race war in order to purge America of the so-called European invaders.

This may be wild speculation but what if Islamic martyrs successfully pulled off a major terrorist attack AND it became known that they were supported by a group of Latin-American decent. I for one shudder to think what that might lead to.

Add to that how Iran is known to prefer using proxies and it all fits much too neatly for comfort.
