Is Hizbullah Smuggling Weapons to Brazil?
(Jerusalem Post) Hizbullah is being investigated in Brazil for the illegal trade of firearms, Rio de Janeiro's O Globo newspaper reported Sunday. Hizbullah-linked groups began smuggling arms into Brazil back in 2006. Brazil-bound weapons ultimately reached jails, from which criminal gangs operated, in exchange for "protection of any foreigners [already] detained in prisons," as well as a slice of the profit. Hizbullah also helped negotiate deals to obtain explosive devices for terror plots.
