Report: Iran Forming Terror Cells in Africa to Attack U.S. in Response to Sanctions
Breitbart ^ | 24 Jun 2019 | EDWIN MORA

Iran expanded its terrorist activities to Africa where it has recruited an estimated 300 militants to attack the United States and other Western targets in retaliation for American sanctions against Tehran, the Daily Telegraph reported Monday.

The U.S. has deemed Iran the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

“Iran is setting up a new terrorist infrastructure in Africa with the aim of attacking Western targets,” an unnamed senior Western security source told the Telegraph. “It is all part of Tehran’s attempts to expand its terrorist operations across the globe.” Details about the existence of Iran’s terror cell in Africa reportedly surfaced after a series of arrests in Chad in April.

Investigators reportedly learned that Iranian operatives are recruiting and training men between the ages of 25 and 35 to carry out terror attacks against Western targets in Africa.

Iran has already recruited an estimated 300 militants who have “have undergone rigorous training at Iranian-run training camps in Syria and Iraq,” the Telegraph noted.

The billions of dollars that the Obama administration gave Iran has been used to finance an extensive terror network.

The new [Iranian] terror network [in Africa] has been established on the orders of Qassem Suleimani, the head of the Quds Force, the elite section of Iran’s Republican Guard Corps that has responsibility for overseas operations.

The aim of the new terror cell is to target US and other Western military bases on the continent, as well as embassies and officials.

The Iranian cells are said to be active in a number of African countries including Sudan, Chad, Ghana, Niger, Gambia, and the Central African Republic.

And we now have reports of groups of Africans coming across our Southern border as well as all the other groups. How easy would it be for a few terrorists to be placed in these groups?

Obama should be tried and executed if found guilty.

I NEVER say something like this.

I think it is thrown around too easily sometimes around here in reference to who should be executed and why.

So when I say it, that person has transgressed ALL PRETENSE of not being an enemy of the state and needs to be tried with the death penalty VERY MUCH on the table.

I once had somebody, on FR, assure me that no Muslim terrorists would ever sneak across the southern border.

I’m sure Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny will keep them out.

I guess you agree! :)

Would be VERY HARD to charge, find guilty and execute a former president.

Not because I think the evidence isn’t there.

Because of precedent.

But this is FAR BEYOND anything I’ve KNOWN ABOUT that a president has done and he needs to pay with his life after a trial.

We both know what the odds are.

We are the EXCEPTION in how closely we follow events and how much we read and know.

95 percent don’t have a clue.

I hope this text finds you well!

If shooting starts, Israel will eliminate the Iranian presence in Syria. They will first target known and suspected Iranian missile sites which are a direct threat to Israeli population centers as well as known Iranian bases. American stealth bombers with bunker buster bombs and missiles will destroy all of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. They will also fulfill the fervent wish of many mullahs, jihadists and revolutionary guards by allowing them to achieve sudden martyrdom.

The big question is that while it will be emotionally gratifying to punish severely these medieval hostage taking lowlifes that also provided the IEDs that killed and maimed many Americans, will these actions enhance the security of the American people.

If I’m not mistaken aren’t the Iranians and Hezbollahare active in Latin America? Isn’t the vice president of Venezuela Iranian?

It isn’t “in response to sanctions”.

They were going to do it anyway. This is just propaganda, trying to blame the US.

He would more likely be Breitbarted by some government fixer than tried and convicted in court. Both of which approach a 0% chance.
