BUMP!
"Zarqawi is an instrument of a far more powerful terrorist engine: the Iranian regime, allied with other terror masters. Zarqawi himself is only involved in a fraction of the actions for which he gets credit; the most important figure is actually our old enemy, Imad Mughniya, the operational commander of Hezbollah. And if you're in a betting mood, I'll give you even money that Hezbollah is the operational glue that binds together the various terrorist factions on the ground in Iraq. "

America was asleep at the switch in regards to countering the threat from Islamic terrorists.
Good photo of Mugniyah at below URL
He is Shi'ite:
Middle East experts and intelligence officials in several countries say Mugniyah, a Lebanese Shiite Muslim, runs the international terrorist apparatus of Lebanese Hezbollah and that he works as a subcontractor for Iranian intelligence, often using Iran as a safe haven.

Venezuela’s Clans Usher Hezbollah in Through the Front Door

Abdala Rada Ramel has close ties to Salman Raouf Salman, who has been also accused of an important role in the AMIA bombing attack
The “clans” consist of groups of Lebanese origin who exert control over given territories in South America - and enable Hezbollah
All three clans are strategically positioned close to the most important ports of Venezuela, from which they doubtless oversee the trade and handling of goods that in turn allows Hezbollah to profit
Assad Ahmad Barakat is accused of having been involved in the AMIA bomb attack and operating call centers and shell companies on behalf of Hezbollah
After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, thousands of Arab refugees fleeing the ensuing war found refuge in Latin America, beginning a new chapter in their lives. This wave of migration has led today to a community of more than 10 million Lebanese now living on the continent.
Back then, open immigration policy allowed many Lebanese arrivals to move mainly to Venezuela and Colombia. In Venezuela alone, more than one million citizens today are of Lebanese origin. Significantly many of these immigrants also settled in the Tri-Border Area: a 200 square-kilometre zone at the intersection of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay that comprises one city from each country: Puerto Iguazú in Argentina, Foz de Iguazú in Brazil, and Ciudad del Este in Paraguay....
Venezuela is also the base of operations of choice for three other three infamous clans: Saleh, Rada and Nasr al-Din. Each of these groups, Humire says, has control of a different section of the clandestine route between Margarita Island, a tax-free shopping enclave in Venezuela used as a meeting point by Hezbollah, and Maicao city in Colombia.
