#2 Unable to resell the electronics here because of tracking numbers, the indictment said, Hamdan and his codefendants exported them to Lebanon and Margarita Island, Venezuela...
According to the indictment, Hodroj wanted 1,200 Colt M-4 fully automatic machine guns, the model used by U.S. special forces. Hezbollah would pay $1,800 per gun. The guns were to be shipped to the port of Latakia in Syria...Harb allegedly told the informant how operatives in Iran worked 18 hours a day producing high-quality counterfeit U.S. currency for Hezbollah. The informant was provided with a sample $100 bill.

Hamdan, Harb, and the informant traveled to South Florida to meet with the informant's boss -- an undercover FBI agent, authorities said. The men dined in posh waterfront restaurants and hashed out a deal for $1 million in counterfeit cash and fake British and Canadian passports.
The investigation ended in November in a sweep of arrests from Philadelphia to Michigan. The biggest catch was Dani Tarraf, the Hezbollah weapons-procurement officer arrested in Philadelphia, who allegedly gave an undercover agent a $20,000 down payment for Stinger antiaircraft missiles and assault weapons.

Hamdan moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., then left for Lebanon shortly before the arrests.

Fife, the New Jersey State Police detective in charge of the investigation, and other JTTF agents are still working the case.

"He never thought his career as a New Jersey state trooper would take him to a half-dozen countries in pursuit of an investigation," said Sgt. Stephen Jones, a State Police spokesman. "We're proud of the work he has done."

Very interesting details and the operation is apparently ongoing. Not bad work for a state patrolman!

#3 When are we going to get off our a$$es and nuke Beirut, Damascus, and Tehran? Why are we fighting a war with both feet in concrete boots, wearing boxing gloves? This is NOT a game.

Isn't counterfeiting by a nation-state or its agents an act of war?
