Hizbullah Expands Drug Trafficking Operations in Venezuela
(Washington Free Beacon) Adam Kredo - Hizbullah terrorists are flocking to Venezuela as Iran's most important proxy increasingly turns to drug trafficking as a way to raise revenue. Former Assistant Treasury Secretary for Terrorist Financing Marshall Billingslea told a Senate hearing in October that 400 Hizbullah field commanders received direction "to evacuate to Latin America, and Venezuela is specifically identified." They joined 11,000 other Hizbullah-tied operatives who landed in Venezuela between 2010 and 2019. The proceeds from these drug sales fund Hizbullah's global terror operation, while the Venezuelan regime takes a cut.
