Join us and register now for the dw global media for in 2020, for the or the so you know, everyone in the, they route that they felt they were being passed. And they told me, i thought that it was another plumbing to assess the night may go to the a by the, i dont know, we wont touch sight. It was as if we were walking into how big your behind them the roads up blocks go to the hospital on foot. That it was as if the city had been laid into a coughing. And as never a much tremendous disc. The delete bustle to the vessel explosion, ship lebanons, capitals, they lead more than 100. 00 pieces of dine board and full size of the injured water cause its still not clear, it seems a fall, you know, close the explosion of some 2700 tons of Ammonium Nitrate sold at the port, 2750 tons promote even entre only hezbollah could unload Ammonium Nitrate to the court. The end as a signal signal opens up the by routes. Polk without as polos. Knowledge such 6 of us. So this nitrate belongs to hezbollah has brought it there and enjoyed it there for 6 years. Some of his life today, i want to offer a categorical and that absolute, horrible, and definitive denial. And we have nothing at the port. But most the hezbollah is a political party. It is a social movement. It is also a massive militia, larger, better armed, better train at the moment. He is armed forces. That is an International Terrace organization. The has made out paid a lot like the mine or the re determined dorm project that has below was operating like a global drug product. We do them as one of the most significant and Transnational Criminal Organizations slash carts, else last mafia that we had and ever come across the bowl is dangerous because bowl as big as bowl is not 10 feet to the the shadow of hezbollah hangs over the explosion. That they roots poured any investigation to seem impossible. Its is this, the Islamist Organization has absolute impunity. For 40 years, its members of infiltrated lebanese politics and defined justice, vc and most of them grew dreams of establishing religious lou sharea like in iran. And yet, in the mid to thousands, several agents from the d. E a. The Us Drug Enforcement Administration tried in secret to bring down his below their investigation, took them to full continents, revealing the hidden face of his bella, arabic, full policy of gold. The full found during their operations code name was cassandra named up to the figuring greek mythology to fall so misfortune, but was ignored. The investigation began in the United States in the off the mass of the attack on the world trade center. The tom, a former agent with the Drug Enforcement administration known as the d. E. A in the United States. I worked in the da for 28 years. The drug and fortunately ministration was formed to be the lead agency in america to go after the Drug Trafficking organizations, the im from new york, obviously. So the devastation of 911. 00. My brother was in the United States air force. He went to afghanistan to fight for the country it and he came back in a body bag because his helicopter crashed on Operation Enduring freedom. So im very passionate about National Security and public safety. So i was actually giving it a golden opportunity to run the d, a special Operations Division, post 911. 00, the jack kelly. Is it the agent . We recruited him to work at the special Operations Division. When he 1st got there, he was working in the latin america section, which was focusing on colombia, so he became the leader of the team. So im a supervisor now at special Operations Division. The idea is the follow the money. So us and then under cover fashion is posing as criminals that know how to warn or money. And we would do that for the cartel. And now were to afford us to infiltrate cartels to the highest level because were doing what their boss is considered. The most important thing. Getting the money back into their hands from the drugs that were sold in places like the bronx, new york, does everything okay. Have you finalize the sale precinct . Yes, and i know, of course i think a great match the during the war a tap investigations in columbia that we were into shifting a lot of arabic conversation. That was something new to me as the head of the special Operations Division like i didnt really understand it and i had to learn over the years like what was going on. A hello. Hello, but listen, i need a favor was very unfortunately just the just tell me what is to show, but they need to borrow 20000 dollars like this for them really just the you back tomorrow and let me know. Yes, of course. I know the information were receiving is that as well as organization, this has made a presence in latin america, specifically to be involved in good cocaine trade and cocaine proceed. Money order. One of the top lieutenants is a guys that speaks arabic, and his name is taliban. They call and talbot, because they call every arab guy down there. Taliban after 911. 00. We do some searches, some quick searches in different databases and we find out that his name is jeffery har. Jeffery hard was no 2 people the United States government, the check required was tied directly to iran has was impossible terrorist attacks the so what happens is we introduce under cover agents. One of the under covers is, is so because hes of lebanese descent, speaks arabic literally, and is actually going to me check, read in columbia the the, to check and tells the undercover i move multi ton loads of cocaine to port ok. A box in jordan and then it gets moved through syria to 11 on the as well. I imagine then youre, youre must be pretty close to hezbollah. If youre going to be moving, co came through siri, 11, a check the heart just smiles widely and nods his head. Yes, yes i am working with has for so check your horses through the under cover. We have a project for you. We have 20000000. 00 that needs to be on. Can you do that for us . The under covers is certainly we can do that for you. Are on the coverage and keep such a good job. Convincing them that he was this real bad guy. They offered him the contract to pick up 20000000. 00, which he did. 20000000 is a lot of money. Im not aware of too many. You know, undercover agents picking up 20000000. 00 from bed. The now that the undercover appeared to be a criminal superstars in the mind of betty, he perhaps could run the operations in the middle east. So basically this, the under cover was going to become the medi lieutenant in charge of the middle east, cocaine trafficking and money order the we have found this incredible news, definitive tie between columbia and cocaine trafficking, specifically out of many to elaborate extremist terrace organization that killed more americans than anybody before . 911. So this was extraordinary. It was a novel idea, but i think to other people in the United States government, they seem fanciful because they never heard of anything like this. And basically the party line was that hezbollah was too religious to be involved in drug track. The now the on the why the american saying this, this, what do they have against has been a and how long for us drugs, hard on the religion, forbid, science from buying and dealing drugs, when uh, as most as, yeah, thatd be the key for the so how could we traffic drugs when we prohibit them . And i said, oh, its not true. Let me tell you a secret. So yeah, 30 years ago we decided we wouldnt take part in any trade at all. No. No big, no smaller fee. I yeah, im a dish, im not even in partnership with others. Either the National Recycling must be causing any business. There are ways issues with corruption, amenities, and i do have to make concessions to my 2nd fee and well set one up laterally. The pointers will know what the americans claim that hezbollah is in book all the interruption and Money Laundering. They want to tonisha and reputation and convince the people south of the, on the good side. I mean, im, that theyre fighting terrorism was on corruptions that i had the un office, the whole, these weapons, these rifles, these fish and the blood of motors, show the entire world. That after all these decades, the passive disappear has come to an end. The way in the world is Hezbollah Operating is terry know when were a resistance movement. The other thing i want us to resist hezbollah resist. Hezbollah is honest history. Speaks for itself is out of that theres a lot of the people that fight some in favor just come in. Discriminant 5 is, dont say its no longer clear who, whos fighting, who is the search for his beloved drunk traffic, has lit the agents to dig into the can you all take violent history of living on the birthplace of the policy of god . In 1975 civil war broke housing by route. The was mainly for between the various religious and cultural communities. Christians, sony muslims, shia muslims, drews and palestinians. In june 1980 to another party during the war. These riley army, which invaded lebanon to find the palestinians. The fighting threatened stability in the middle east, french and us soldiers arrived, hoping to restore peace. They became the target of a vin, unknown organization, which had scrolling. So wed let the known as any foreign presence. The so called duty war again and the and thats a has will the senate and for this i mean you with man with many in 1982 when has but i was phoned, i was one of the founders. We oppose the western presents and let them know what i mean and the we have always wanted them to leave the country and stop influencing the situation. And what happened on the occlusal mon look, none will allow us to the luck. I live not a love to be of the router has once again been struck by a terrible attack on this time the americans with a target in their own embassy, each believed about 40 and people were killed on it. And then the chief, you should be small, soul building, suddenly collapse. It was the u. S. Embassy defeat, as a 1st major confrontation between has prolonged the americans on the 2nd attack. Talking to the Multinational Forces composed primarily of americans. Its also a french british and to tell you in the us now the yeah, the had to have at least 2000 pounds. Cmt was observed coming at a high rate of speed from the south of the building to the gate and through the garden 1st. And then detonated inside the lobby. Theres a crater down there about the lake. This was the 1st suicide, foaming in lebanon. Huffman looking, there was nothing like it before it got here, doesnt our region nothing . Our country has beloved brought this terrorist method on to liberty. So youll have no, i mean getting it. Ill be with many no, mary saw the following orders issued by the leader of has pals on forces will carry out a suicide. Oh, my god, im making of tremble beneath the feet of our enemies, the United States. And is right, how many ago was that all the us to have the monitors without a doubt, the biggest secret of 5 success is not causing any fight. Yes. That your opponent is trying to kill you and to take your like, uh, well, you only have about saving. Losing your life is not that important to you either if achieving your goal is what matters most of all or how does your opponent lucys or pilot over you said, i love the stuff. The new site that i like for you a suicide bombing is, is, is, is a message is we will stop at nothing. We are smarter than you. You are a big bureaucracy and we can beat you the. So france in the United States are on the same boat at this point. You know, were trying to figure out what is happening and 11 on we want to know the names of our enemy. I went up picture while i know where they are and how we get to. And once we find them, we have delta force, which i work with very closely with go kill them. Those my orders. War for an intelligence officer. Really. It gets your adrenalin going. This is and 1980 to 1983. I was on the border with lebanon, and that was a real fascination because we were a war. The youre seeing the is really just come down the back call. Youre driving down the road and to new jersey is showing above you. The navy farms there is biggest volkswagens. So that was my entre into the middle east. The, his ball a as a name did not exist in 82. They bring all the disparate to groups, she a groups together and created a unified resistance. The one i know we did not want the occupier to know who fine to as well as the fact that we took advantage of that period to organize our sound. Looking at that as well after that we carried down to operations in the name of the is low, make resistance of the problem and is let me. Yeah, let me. Thatd be 2nd us. It wasnt until 1995 that we officially announced the existence of has belong, the middle of sorts. I 6, you mean gets yours 11 issue i hope relation is because determines, puts it into the team, 100 years of humiliation. Leave it in the wake of the iranian revolution. The lebanese muslim extremists found within the political body has blocked the been a deal of the policy is gone for, did you, therefore pull the code . At least fanatics is clear. They say well the soldiers about 75 and we went to the stomach with hopefully before we will make live. And u. V is not the remember, nice a to is just not quite 3 years after the running revolution and for the running revolution, one key pillar was the export of the revolution, the, the uranium came lab and on and said, look, we will help you if you help yourselves and put a fighting group together. You people know how to shoot guns, you know how to blow stuff up. We will give you the money. We will not interfere. You know how to do it, go do it. The. 7 c c c the only click these things will already expire and has belong to come a major plan with the new method of losing costs or trump phones driven by suicide. Almost if what you were camille pg, i think it is for c l street only. Then we have just another phase 5, which was hostage taking the trip on another one. Its the 3rd hijacking this week involving by route. And this time, the plane, and most of the passengers are from the United States, the w way, 5847 was on route from athens to rome this morning, when it was hijacked by suspected she, i muslims, and force defied of a roof. They are beating the beating the standing in front of the p, w, a flight 8 or 7. Only a few feet from a cock that i can see. Captain john test right next to one of the gun money in the carpet, the audio the view and whats happening to you now . Not very much is happening to us. Now. They speak english. Can you communicate with them . Sometimes better than others. It depends on whos on board. The many people in america were calling for some kind of rescue operation, or i think that wed all be dead men if they did, because were continually surrounded by many, many guards. And whether or not the United States see my new model, the key is the man inside the copies of the t w. I flight w a was the big point was early terrorist activities. She was not a particularly religious person at 1st the he served as a body guard but went on to become the head of as well as terraced operations in part by being involved in almost everything from the beginning. Heres a guy who was on the kill list of the most sides of the c. I a for many years, the movie it was in the airplane, we found this fingerprint, but that was not moved me in the window. Did they ever do that never show his face in public . Never, never, never, never. He never showed himself to the hostages. Because he knew one day to be released and he didnt want to be identified. He was ghost knew how to remain a ghost. I plan to kill him. A pin was that saturday. His entire Group Operations in secret, like in the other, we didnt know anything about them. Probably they were smaller numbers on the carry that significant to tags kind of falls in the, the, the, the visible a limb. Yes. The, the a as belong had nothing to do with the kidnappings and attacks. What am marines and french paratroopers went up and met ends within the mobile unit and seen the g . I seem happy to leave lebanese soil and to the board. The american worship is patrolling off the coast to the uranium oversaw the most potent, a symmetrical military force in modern history are ever dont forget the french and the americans were run out by a guy who had about 20 people in history. Theres nothing to compare. It with the mob moved near and his beloved had won the americans in french, less living on humiliated and scott by ongoing suicide bombings and hostage taking. But the dues he was of the 1980s had left its mach washington eventually designated hezbollah as a foreign terrorist organization. And the mud mcneil became a mocked man in the mid to thousands. When the agents of the d. E, a launched projects, cassandra, they thought they could have binge those killed in by roots and eliminate the old enemy. Fema mcneil, the they were planning the infiltration of hezbollah as trafficking woods in jordan, the but the agents from the c i, a, the Central Intelligence agency of the United States would happy to see these cowboys encroaching on the domain, the jordanian Anti Narcotics police. Go up on intercepts of numbers identified in jordan link to check the heart. And what happened was that there was going to be a big meeting in amman, jordan, and at that meeting directory har boys told to introduce the under cover to an extremely significant member or members of has no, youre telling me this guy can be fully trusting. Theres no risk in them of a theres nothing to worry about. I thought, oh, its important we knew where hes from, you know, no, hes not a risk. Dont worry about the name of because of that. All right. We were hearing and we believed for various reasons that hard was under the guidance and protection of bug near the or under a time crunch. Now, because the undercover is obviously cant move cocaine with has more and wouldnt be able to longer money for has. So we realize that whatever avenues we gain in this amman jordan meeting might be the last chance the and for the day or 2 before the meeting was shut down by members of the us embassy enjoyed this day did not allow. 0 the undercover agent to meet with the operators on the ground enjoyed and there was no real explanation given. Which to be honest was very, very annoying. And very disturb the, the ad folks in the Intelligence Community that had 30 use of knowledge on hezbollah. Pretty much looking down at the d. Yeah. Like how does the da know about has the became like a fly in there. So the, the under cover reached out to check re harbor to check the harv wouldnt talk to check. The harp wouldnt respond. So he is completely blown off, so we lost our undercover infiltration of of check regard. So the opportunity was, was burn. The not only was the opportunity burn. What are the on the covers life was now in big time danger as the head of the special operations vision that pissed me off the ceiling a, the us Intelligence Agency had capsized project, cassandra organized by the d. A. The anti drug agency. The rivalry between the 2 agencies was emblematic of washingtons weakness in the face of an enemy that had mutated and matured. By that time, has bella was more than a terrorist faction. It presented itself as a respectable political policy with representatives in the Lebanese Parliament who defended the interests of the lone marginalized she community. The political leader was her son serrano. A cleric trained in iran, in the background, has below, with its military leader ima mcneil continued fighting the war against israel. Cooling itself, the resistance unlike the western nations who had left lebanon, these railey military continue to occupy the south of the country so that he was out of these railways and the west, and as did not understand, has pronounced, dont tread for its principles. As the law, as the law is based on faith in islam, or what does this plan and this line is based on jihad, and she had the one at the bottom, it has below is stronger than ever. Well, despite all the countries that accuse it of terrorism on the, we dont need anyone else. We only want to take bag and i, and deliberate country had a little bit of the c d because what this was has been last called night, captured the hans and sewn up our people for quite a while, even though they were she, i see she 90 percent of the worlds most inoculation soon. Hot history the you, shes to look at his ball a. I mean whoever side you arent as robin hood, if youre lebanese and youre tired of being humiliated, who do you have . Youve got his ball and thats it. The 2 children, the elderly, every one was out on the streets in some places hezbollah had to say, hey grandpa slow down. You have to at least wait until the is rarely so gone. Like the 0, the yeah, a lot. That has what she loved then. So heres what i is there as well. My husband always looks after you after the bus itself. But monica, who would keep you up the slightest injury there. They always care for the wounded halloween and their families being literally low and then well assessed is a better thing. They take care of everything. Then begin the fussy you. Uh yes, please. I beg you for the love of god, my back on my that done a lot of precious bottle of a fighting politics, social welfare provision. They are all about creating a culture of resistance of mccollum on the, on a new today where a true popular phone keeping with women and children, young men hold onto the elderly. Listen, lets say the entire family belongs to hezbollah as well not. And if were not an ordinary organization id, yeah. The, so now i have to say what the site is, the military leader, as well as the political anita, and you had to theres no distinction between the 2. And the so it doesnt look good because some estrada is an impressive formidable mind. Hes an exceptional public speaker. Come in guy. Loan. Good spoken her. Okay, perfect. So he can talk to the muslims. And in a while, you wont, you wont one hour project and we have no choice but to carry it out. And that, that, thats what we are followers of a doctrine of our project is to create an a slavic state with this slumber. Governance. I think of natural as robust appear or incorruptible, trying to create a revolution and is done the best of the data summit. So it has um, but what if you just see i got to know his excellencys, so youd have something thats a rollo personally wrong. At one meeting before 2000, i put my hand on his shoulder and not i have thought the that for thats a someone took a photo of us to pick of all of us, all the, i dont produce ring gain some seed. And this copy of the koran, how this also came from. So you of the the on the left did he go to the girl used during what he might call the glory days of hezbollah. We used to go to nest ramos place a tips of yet. I remember how we will change cos and drive away from the gallery to noon of a vehicle. I suppose you looked with you was of it, but they didnt blindfold. You know that you didnt really know where you were. The subject was at the level use the so you know, youre in the southern yourselves, the policy security call to let this quote, the more a bar sink was located. That the why have with us or at least kill them with a drone because we cant find them. He knows about telephones. He knows about drones. He knows all this stuff. He knows how to stay alive. Hes a survivor like mic the same mold, the leak, the flood cliff home before you left for the issue. Sometimes hes very direct, inclusive. Well, sometimes he just touches on some things we should know better than muslim community, as it could be less something we call to catch untruths less. And we also have to say, we just seen a school is going to play city, that the key sits, are kind of the core where you dont always reveal the entire truth. The jesse also bits to spectrum through to pay for the for didnt get c, n, v, as the monkey related about 11 or stuff the, in the early 2, thousands, the west didnt notice his below, expanding its influence in lebanon. At the time, the International Community was focused on a rock. The us had just invited the country and was facing cs resistance from local militias. Many of them were she palmed and financed by a ron. What the us didnt know at the time was the lebanese, find his from his beloved had come to help their rocky brothers in the name of shiite solidarity and defiance against a common enemy. The, its started die with the war in iraq and my involvement as an advisor to wear Us Special Operations command on the ground and iraq against the eightys, which were called explosively form project house f piece. This weapon, the way it was designed, had extraordinary ferocity and explosive impacts. Yeah. Like bonds look very small tube with a copper plate with the old, a huge explosion enough to cut it in. M one, a one tank and almost in half between never seen anyone build to do with any sort of normal process. The it was the signature of weapons. So the fact that it was being used against americans forces told me that as well. I had to be on the ground just below instructors train approximately 20. 00 to 60. 00 rockies at a time, sending them back to a rock organized into these special groups. Theyre being taught how to use the these borders rockets. The explosive project was being employed, interact against american forces, was designed by has and man behind the creation of this weapon was a model to meet the. So i started hearing about the president s man, they called him the president s man because he had worked directly for president bush and the bush white house. I was focusing on the finances and i was aware that a great deal of money involving the p networks, interact with being derived from a cash houses 11. The something sort of remarkable happened. We starting to see phone selectors, they were tied to the financing of id attacks in iraq. There were then, apparently in touch with numbers in south america. The in the i was like, are they really mean . And i think they need to call columbia. I said what, what, what, what does this mean . I mean, i think this is very bizarre, but this pattern can happen, the why these people, i touch, what do they talk to, what are they doing . And i realize suddenly, are these guys turning to colombian . The sources of narco financing, the funder operations on the cross, the for, i mean, it is a light went on, may have because i was familiar with narcotics trafficking in global Money Laundering for organized crime. The drug money at one level or another was making its way the profits for making their way into the world around the wow. If we could track this money and we get tied to drugs. And then we were to pursue the drug track and start to take down the drug business. We can start to really put a financial hit around has possibility operating arrived, the by orders were to attack this foggy situation. And then try to tie this into the leadership and the leadership being to mazda the. So i wanted to go after the hash block was developing this world wide capability and generate and billions of dollars. And we had to take action the for them to charge a narcotics trafficking was the greatest gift we could ever be given. Suddenly we had a new way of using lost. Theyre not warfare to attack at a terrace organization finances. And when ive reached it up the chain at the Us Central Command to general alan and to him the general for trace their way, hodge grew idea. What can we, we couldnt dream of Something Better than this because like, we cant fight those guys. Washington regatta has been lives involvement in the death of us soldiers in iraq as a declaration of war and re launched project. Cassandra the d. E. A had free reign to tackle the potty of gold in the name of National Security. They wanted to go after their money when they go after their networks. I want to take down their finances. I want to go after their backs, they had criminalize themselves.
