Don’t forget that 11 months ago they arrested a Hezbollah commander in Tijuana. He was living there, and no one said why.
That sound crazy, but it’s true.
I don’t know if the 2 stories are connected, but perhaps they found some device —or weaponized Anthrax— right over on the other side of the border, in Tijuana.
That is just a theory. That would keep the statements, “nowhere in the USA” and, “not at this port” both true.
