Africa North
Four workers killed in a terrorist attack near Egypt’s el-Arish Airport
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Four civilian workers were killed in a terrorist attack near el-Arish International Airport in Egypt’s North Sinai province, an Al Arabiya correspondent reports.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported quoting Egyptian officials that Lions of Islam have attacked construction workers in the restive northern Sinai Peninsula, killing at least four civilian workers.

The officials say Saturday’s attack took place in the Mediterranean city of el-Arish as workers were building a fence around the city’s airport. They say the Lions of Islam maimed five other workers and burned two vehicles.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media.

No group immediately grabbed credit for the attack, which bore hallmarks of an affiliate of the ISIS.

Egypt has been battling Islamic Lions of Islam for years, and the country’s security forces launched an all-out offensive against Lions of Islam in February last year.

Libya intercepts nearly 200 Europe-bound migrants at sea
Cairo (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Libya’s coasties says it has intercepted Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
-bound vessels carrying nearly 200 migrants colonists, including women, off the country’s Mediterranean coast, the U.S.-based News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.

Spokesman Ayoub Gassim said Saturday that five rubber boats carrying 199 migrants colonists were intercepted over the past several days near the capital, Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
He says the coasties intercepted 39 migrants colonists Wednesday in two boats, another boat with 17 migrants colonists Thursday and two more with 143 migrants colonists Friday.

All were Africans, except eight from Bangladesh. They were given humanitarian and medical aid, then taken to refugee camps in Tripoli.

Libya became a major conduit for African migrants colonists and refugees fleeing to Europe after the 2011 NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Originally it was a mutual defense pact directed against an expansionist Soviet Union. In later years it evolved into a mechanism for picking the American pocket while criticizing the cut of the American pants...
-backed uprising that ousted and killed longtime ruler Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...

...thus post-Qadaffy Libya fulfilled the threat President Qadaffy had made to Europe if they did not give him whatever it was that he’d wanted at the moment. But at least he isn’t around to make threats anymore...
Libyan authorities have stepped up efforts to stem the flow of migrants colonists, with European assistance.

Caribbean-Latin America
Suspected Hezbollah Financier Extradited to the U.S.
[FDD.ORG] Paraguayan authorities extradited Nader Mohamad Farhat yesterday to Miami, where he faces criminal charges of money laundering. Farhat’s case promises to reveal the intricacies and magnitude of trade-based money laundering in the Tri-Border Area (TBA)
...we have a bunch of articles in the archive about jihadi groups in the TBA, going back to 2003. Enjoy perusing, dear Reader...
of Argentina
...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita...
, Brazil, and Paraguay, including the role played by Lebanese Hezbollah.

A Miami federal court will decide whether Farhat will be tried there or in New York, where he faces similar charges. In the case before the New York court, Farhat is an alleged co-conspirator in a case involving another Paraguayan national of Lebanese origin, Mahmoud Ali Barakat, and three other defendants who are accused of assisting in the laundering of drug monies from inside the U.S.

Court documents refer to Farhat as a "known money launderer for narcotics organizations and other illicit organizations," while media reports allege a possible connection to Hezbollah. According to a Department of Justice blurb announcing the indictment of his co-conspirators, Farhat participated in "an international money laundering scheme relying on the complexities of global trade, and the use of ... businesses here in New York and in Florida, to launder millions of dollars for transnational narcos and other bad actors." (The cases have since been merged.)

These cases highlight how Latin American narco mobs and other organized crime groups continue to exploit complex, trade-based schemes to launder their ill-gotten gains. Critically, many of the companies involved are in the United States, exposing the U.S. financial system to considerable reputational risk.

The case also reveals the growing importance of the TBA to this type of financial crime. Almost a decade ago, a large Drug Enforcement Administration investigation exposed the connection between Latin American narco mobs and Hezbollah financiers. The investigation focused on the Lebanese Canadian Bank and revealed Hezbollah’s use of extensive trade-based money laundering networks in Colombia and Venezuela, which laundered cartel drug money through West Africa and used car businesses in the United States before repatriating the funds to the cartels through Lebanese-based financial institutions.

Colombian cartels have now shifted some of their operations to Paraguay, making the landlocked country an important transit point for cocaine. Three years ago, another Lebanese national, Ali Issa Chamas, was arrested in the TBA and extradited to Miami, where he was sentenced in December 2017. Evidence obtained by the author from Paraguayan intelligence officials shows that Chamas had business ties to Colombia and to Brazilian drug syndicates. In July 2018, Paraguayan authorities raided a lab where Colombian nationals were found to be working on processing cocaine into fake charcoal as a way to ship the drug to the Middle East. The ringleader had previously worked for Colombian cartels.

There are good reasons for this shift. The TBA is well-known hub for contraband and the sale of counterfeit goods. With an estimated value of $18 billion a year, the TBA illicit economy has gained prominence for organized crime groups in search of opportunities to move merchandise and launder revenue.

It will likely be months before Farhat and his co-conspirators go to trial. Court documents suggest that the electronic evidence alone, seized in part during raids on Farhat’s home and the money exchange house he ran, includes several terabytes of material. U.S. law enforcement should be aggressive in its investigation of Hezbollah-related criminal activity in the TBA, which is becoming an increasingly important source of revenue for the Lebanese terrorist organization.

#1  Lebanon tried to block his extradition. While Hezbollah’s arsenal and fighters are concentrated in Lebanon and Syria, latin America is an indispensable theatre of operations for the criminal networks that generate much of Hezbollah’s revenue.

Paraguay hosts a significant money laundering operation connected to Hezbollah in the 'Triple Frontier', where Paraguay intersects with Argentina and Brazil. It has local operatives involved in cocaine trafficking, with senior Hezbollah commanders overseeing operations and paying off Paraguayan officials. Ever since the Trump administration's attention was piqued by the Triple Frontier, federal/DEA operations have begun to unearth illicit trade worth billions. Farhat was arrested by Paraguayan police on insistence from the US Treasury, and the US demanded immediate extradition. Two days later, Lebanese foreign ministry officials demanded the Paraguayan attorney general to resist the US attempt and refuse extradition. This is the kind of pull they had in the Obumble regime and had grown accustomed to it.

Iran executes ‘defense ministry contractor’ over spying for CIA
[IsraelTimes] State news agency says Jalal Haji Zavar confessed to spying for US for money; ex-wife serving 15-year sentence for ’involvement in espionage.

has executed a "defense ministry contractor" convicted of spying for the US Central Intelligence Agency, semi-official news agency ISNA reported Saturday.

"The execution sentence was carried out for Jalal Haji Zavar, a contractor for the defense ministry’s aerospace organization who spied for the CIA and the American government," ISNA reported, quoting the Iranian military.

ISNA said he was convicted by Iran’s military court and that he was executed, at an unspecified time, at the Rajayi Shahr prison in the city of Karaj, west of Tehran.

The agency did not say when Zavar was arrested, noting however that his contract with the defence ministry had been terminated during the Iranian year 1389 (March 2010-2011).

He was identified as a spy by the defense ministry’s intelligence unit, ISNA said.

During the investigation the suspect "explicitly confessed to spying for the CIA" in return for money, ISNA said, adding that "documents and espionage devices were found at his house."

Zavar’s ex-wife was convicted of "involvement in espionage" and is serving a 15-year jail sentence, the agency said.

The report comes days after Iran said it had dismantled a "new" US spy network in the country linked to the CIA, amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington.
