Fairhope authorities check out bomb threat; evacuate nursing home (Alabama)
March 29, 2009

FAIRHOPE, Ala. -- Fairhope police and fire officials, together with Baldwin County sheriff's deputies, are investigating a bomb threat near the K-1 Center on Church Street. Mayor Tim Kant said the nursing home near the school was evacuated and a several block area cordoned off as a precaution after authorities found suspicious material when searching the area after the threat was called in.

A bomb squad was then called in to investigate the situation further. At least one of the nursing home residents was transported by ambulance after having been taken outside.

Hezbollah Uses Mexican Drug Routes Into U.S.
Saturday, 28 March 2009

Hezbollah is using the same southern narcotics routes that Mexican drug kingpins do to smuggle drugs and people into the United States, reaping money to finance its operations and threatening U.S. national security, current and former U.S. law enforcement, defense and counterterrorism officials say.

The Iran-backed Lebanese group has long been involved in narcotics and human trafficking in South America's tri-border region of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil. Increasingly, however, it is relying on Mexican narcotics syndicates that control access to transit routes into the U.S. Hezbollah relies on "the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts as the drug cartels," said Michael Braun, who just retired as assistant administrator and chief of operations at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

"They work together," said Mr. Braun. "They rely on the same shadow facilitators. One way or another, they are all connected. "They'll leverage those relationships to their benefit, to smuggle contraband and humans into the U.S.; in fact, they already are [smuggling]."

I agree, Gaffney has it all pegged.

And 0 runs from the White House each weekend. Perhaps the ghosts of Presidents past aren’t conducive to a good night’s sleep.
