#1 Could this group be the actual intended recipient for the goods in operation Gun Walker?

#3 La Liniea probably got the explosives for last year's July 16th car bomb (mentioned in one of the linked articles) in Juarez due to its drug growing operations in the Tarahumara Sierras region are such as in Madero in far western Chihuahua state.

Madera which was once a thriving mining town does have some commercial mining operations taking place there.

In the Tarahumara Sierras overall mining using Tovex still takes place; the same area cartels such as the Juarez cartel, parent to La Linea maintains growing operations, and a feudal relationship with indigenous Indian populations in the area.

If a relationship exists between the Juarez gang and Hezbollah it is probably very informal.

I have been monitoring press in Juarez for more than a year, and I have yet to see any indication of any relationship between the Juarez cartel and another other group or cartel other than Los Zetas.

As things stand now, the leak is a non-story. A Kuwaiti newspaper reported last year the network Jameel Nasr was trying to start was dismantled before it even had a chance to do much.

The funny thing about the arrest of Jameel Nasr was one day Mexican Federal security forces arrived at his residence in Baja California, arrested him and whisked him away. Not even Baja California state cops knew he was there, the guy was so low key.

If he was their main organizer in Mexico, he sucked at it, hard.

#4 That might depend on his aim. Building a significant network in Mexico - yeah, not happened (yet, at any rate).

But MS-13 and the cartels specialize, among other things, in human trafficking into the US. If Hezb'allah's goal is to move cells and arms for them into this country, he needn't build a strong network there to accomplish that aim.
