Mexico probes alleged Hezbollah financing, reports say
Mexican and US agents are investigating a group in Mexico that they believe is funding Lebanese Hizbollah guerrillas, two newspapers reported on Thursday. Mexico started the investigation three months ago on a request from the United States, which is helping in the probe, the daily El Universal said.
Lebanon's ambassador was critical. "This is part of a fear campaign from those who believe they are fighting against terrorism," Nouhad Mahmoud told Reuters.
The alleged cell is suspected of financing Hizbollah rather than planning attacks itself, according to the Milenio newspaper. Milenio said the attorney general's office in Mexico has compiled a list of people and companies it believes have provided funds to support Hizbollah, but no names were given.
