LEBANON AGAINST EU TERRORIST DESIGNATION FOR HEZBOLLAH

If you thought that there were any responsible government officials left in Lebanon, think again. The country's president has asked the caretaker foreign minister to instruct its EU representative to advise the European Union that it opposes its pending designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. He has been quoted as stating that Hezbollah is "an essential component of Lebanese society." Does that make Lebanon a failed state, due to the admittedly central role being played by Hezbollah ?

The President of Lebanon, in his objections to designating Hezbollah, due to its terrorist action within the EU, in Bulgaria, said that such a ruling would be "taken in haste, and without reliance upon objective and firm evidence" of responsibility for the Bulgarian Bus bombing. Is he serious ? What about all the other known terrorist actions committed by Hezbollah ?

If the country's leader is acting as an apologist for one of the Middle East's worst terrorist groups, it obviously controls the national government; under those circumstances, you should seriously consider raising Country Risk for Lebanon, as the risk levels for having any financial exposure in that country have now increased.

FEMALE CASH SMUGGLER IN U.S. BORDER

LEBANESE-CANADIAN BULK CASH SMUGGLER ARRESTED COMING INTO US

A female dual Lebanese-Canadian national was arrested, by US Customs & Border Protection, at the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, when she attempted to bulk cash smuggle more than C$72,000 into the United States, without declaring it.

Moura El-Asmar was hiding the money, as was her daughter traveling with her, along with two unrelated male friends, sewn into both females' brassieres.

El-Asmar, who claimed that the money was her savings from her newspaper delivery job, and that she was taking it to Lebanon, to give to another daughter, had a criminal record in the United States, which makes her ineligible for entry, according to an affidavit filed by the arresting officer. Was this story a fabrication ? Was she a cash courier ?

Whilst no indictment had been filed at press time, charges of Bulk Cash Smuggling and Failure to Declare are pending. Did the cash come from drug profits, and was it being brought to a designated terrorist group in the Middle East ? We cannot say.

One of the males in the car, coming from Canada, was Hispanic; What was his role ? When further information is released, we will follow up on this story.
