KGB and GRU former intelligence operators assist Hezbollah to penetrate the US

Former CIA undercover agent: KGB and GRU former intelligence operators assist Hezbollah to penetrate the US

Hezbollah - the Iranian-backed Lebanese terrorist organization - has more American blood on its hands than any Islamic terrorist ring with the sole exception of al-Qaeda, The American Spectator writes.

Last week FBI Director Robert Muller announced that though the FBI and Customs had caught others, Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some operatives across the Mexican border into the US, he said. "This was an occasion in which Hezbollah operatives were assisting others with some association with Hezbollah in coming to the United States. That was an organization that we dismantled and identified those persons who had been smuggled in. And they have been addressed as well". Former CIA undercover operator Wayne Simmons has been warning of this problem for years, The American Spectator notes. He spent almost two decades posing as an intelligence operative working with Colombian drug lords and risking his life to thwart their operations. Simmons's warning is dire. He marks that many former intelligence operators from the KGB and GRU are hiring out to plan terrorist smuggling operations through Canada and Mexico. Other US editions quoted recently US intelligence and terrorism experts saying that as tensions increase between the United States and Iran, they believe Iran would respond to US military strikes on its nuclear sites by deploying its intelligence operatives and Hezbollah teams to carry out terrorist attacks worldwide. There is also a growing consensus that Iran's agents would target civilians in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, they said.

Terrorism experts considered Iranian-backed or controlled groups - namely the country's Ministry of Intelligence and Security operatives, its Revolutionary Guards (Pasdaran) and the Lebanon-based Hezbollah - to be better organized, trained and equipped than the al-Qaeda network that carried out the September 11, 2001, attacks.

Some of the analysts note possible connection between the Iranian intelligence and former Soviet intelligence officers.

The current state of Iran's intelligence apparatus is the subject of debate among experts, Washington Post wrote. Some experts who spent their careers tracking the intelligence ministry's operatives describe them as deployed worldwide and easier to monitor than Hezbollah cells because they operate out of embassies and behave more like a traditional spy service such as the Soviet KGB.

Frankly, what this says to me is that we ordinary citizens must pay attention to what's going on around us.

******Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some operatives across the Mexican border into the US,*******

Boy: I bet that was tough. What did they do give them a boy scout compass and say head north? Just about any idiot can make it into the US.

I think we had first taste of possible international terrorism long time ago. In March 10, 1989, Iranian terrorists Hezbollah bombed Sharon Rogers’ van in San Diego. Sharon Rogers, who escaped unharmed, is the wife of Captain Will Rogers III, skipper of the guided-missile cruiser USS Vincennes, which eight months earlier, in the Persian Gulf, had mistakenly shot down an Iranian passenger jet with 299 people aboard. Iranian officials vowed revenge, and investigators at the time believed terrorists, in retaliation, were responsible for strapping a pipe bomb to the undercarriage of Rogers’ vehicle.

What a shock! Somone call Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Kennedy, Feingold, McCain (RINO) and the rest of the pathetic elected airheads. I'm sure they have no clue that this is happening. They're too busy working on amnesty for terror cells and the rest of our enemies.

The time is coming for zero barrier against Russia. Continue along this path of undermining the US and we will have to respond fully.

They couldn't seem to move fast enough to try to find a way to grant these terrorists amnesty now that alot of info is coming out about the corruption and infiltration at all levels of immigration.

The Russians have areas in Mexico, and Russians smuggle illegals and foreign agents into the US through the Mexican border, including DGI (Cuban/Venezuelan Intel), Spetsnaz (russian special Forces) and Chinese Special Forces.
