Real Passports, Fake Drivers' Licenses - How Hezbollah Slowly Infiltrated
Europe
If disgraced former Congressman, Anthony Wiener, runs and wins (God forbid) the race for next Mayor of New York City, his Muslimah wife, Huma Abedin, would become the first lady of the city attacked on 9/11 by Muslims. Not a stretch when you consider that a majority of New York City voters twice put a Muslim in the White House.
Walid Shoebat After reading the 16-page New York Times magazine piece on former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner and his Muslim wife, Huma Abedin, one thing is clear. Weiner is giving serious thought (and money) to exploring the possibility of running for mayor of the city that was hit by Al-Qaeda on 9/11/01.
Based on what is known about Huma, something else becomes clear. A woman with significant familial ties to the group that spawned Al-Qaeda would become first lady of the city that was hit by Al-Qaeda on 9/11/01. Make no mistake, whether Abedin has Brotherhood sympathies or not, her mother – Saleha Abedin – is a leader within the Muslim Sisterhood and would undoubtedly view such a reality as a symbolic victory on par with the construction of the Ground Zero mosque. It seems that both Huma and Weiner are itching to get back into public life as well.
Via NYT:
“We have been in a defensive crouch for so long,” Weiner said. “We are ready to clear the decks on this thing.” Their lives have become too small, too circumscribed, too claustrophobic for a couple accustomed to public life. They haven’t been to a major event together — no White House Correspondents Dinner, no red-carpet events — in nearly two years.
(Gee, I wonder why not? Could it have anything to do with his fondness for sexting naked photos of his dick to many different women?)
Though there isn’t anything earth-shattering in the Times piece, there are a few nuggets of information that help to fill in the mosaic. For example, Huma didn’t take much interest in Weiner until the latter demonstrated that he was firmly ensconced inside team Hillary during the 2008 Presidential campaign:
The relationship turned romantic in 2008, during Clinton’s presidential campaign. “By the time Iowa came around,” Abedin says, “we were more than just friends.” At a stop in Puerto Rico, an A.P. reporter asked Weiner why he was spending so much time campaigning for Hillary. “It’s largely because I’m dating Huma,” he said, and the news was out.
Had Hillary defeated Obama in 2008, Huma certainly would have had a role similar to that of Valerie Jarrett in Obama’s administration. Weiner was a U.S. Congressman and demonstrated he would work hard to get Hillary elected. In essence, he would help Huma too. Perhaps he would work even harder for them both if he was married to Huma.
Another interesting revelation appears in the Times piece. In the days after the sexting scandal broke, Huma joined Hillary on a trip to Africa. A visit to the United Arab Emirates included a meeting with Huma’s mother Saleha and brother (Hassan Abedin):
When they arrived at the Emirates Palace hotel in Abu Dhabi, Cheryl Mills, Clinton’s chief of staff, told Abedin to go directly to her room. Mills had helped arrange to fly in Abedin’s mother and older brother, who live in Jeddah, and they were waiting upstairs. “One of the things that I remember about that night is that there was a lot of very, very painful silence.
This meeting involved the Deputy Chief of Staff for the U.S. Secretary of State, a leader within the Muslim Sisterhood, and a man who served on the board of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) alongside the likes of Muslim Brotherhood leader Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. It just so happens that all three belonged to the same family. Something else each shared in common were spots on the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA), the goal of which is to transform every Muslim minority nation into a Muslim majority nation.
Unless one understands Muruna, it doesn’t make sense for a Muslim Sisterhood leader like Saleha to continue to carry on a relationship with her daughter, a Muslim woman who married a non-Muslim, Jewish, man. However, there doesn’t seem to be any rifts between the two women:
During a previous trip that Clinton and Abedin made to Saudi Arabia, Abedin’s mother, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, vice president of Dar Al-Hekma University, said to Clinton: “Hillary, you have spent more time with my daughter than I have in the past 15 years. I’m jealous of you!”
It’s also interesting to note that Weiner admits in the Times piece that the decision to resign from Congress was his and that Huma did not want him to. If Anthony Weiner is elected mayor of New York City, the first lady of the city will be the daughter of a leader within the group that serves as the umbrella group for the one that brought down the World Trade Center. And Huma has neither denounced that group or her mother’s role in it.
No doubt, the Muslim Brotherhood would see such a victory for Weiner as a symbolic victory for themselves.
Again, we get back to why Form 86 is so important.

Real Passports, Fake Drivers' Licenses - How Hezbollah Slowly Infiltrated
Europe Cleaning up the site of the July 18, 2012 terrorist attack that
killed seven in Burgas, Bulgaria - (JewishNewsOne screenshot) By Alexandre
Levy
LE TEMPS/Worldcrunch
SOFIA - While Cyprus was in the middle of a financial crisis, the court of
Limassol, the island's second largest city, made a ruling that largely went
unnoticed.
Yet it was a judicial first. On March 28, the Cyprus court condemned a
24-year-old Swedish-Lebanese man, Hossam Taleb Yaacoub, to four years in
prison for helping plan attacks against Israelis on the Mediterranean
island.
The man - a self-confessed member of Hezbollah, the Lebanese Shiite militant
group - was a scout for the organization, tasked with monitoring the comings
and goings of Israeli tourists on the island, in view of organizing a
terrorist attack.
In front of the judges, Hossam Taleb Yaacoub denied being a terrorist,
saying he had only "gathered information about Jews." "That's what my
organization does around the world," he added.
According to reports from the Cyprus police, the Hezbollah agent was
particularly meticulous. He took notes on everything: flight schedules, bus
license plates, the numbers of security guards, hotels, kosher restaurants
etc.
Hossam Taleb Yaacoub was arrested on July 7, 2012 by the Cyprus police. But
it is only two weeks later that his activities started making sense, says
Matthew Levitt, director of the Stein Program on Counterterrorism and
Intelligence at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
On the other side of the Bosporus, in Burgas, on the Bulgarian coast, a bus
transporting Israeli tourists was blown up, killing seven people, including
the bomber. "It is clear that Hossam Taleb Yaacoub was preparing another
attack that was supposed to take place around the same time," says Levitt.
In Feb. 2013, Bulgarian authorities announced their investigations led them
to believe that the Hezbollah was behind the bus bombing. Bulgaria had
suddenly become a pawn on the dangerous chessboard that is the
Middle-Eastern conflict.
Blacklisting Hezbollah
Bulgaria's announcement also had important consequences from a European
point of view. Some major countries of the EU, including France and Germany,
have not designated Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, so as to preserve
the fragile political equilibrium in Lebanon. In light of the events in
Cyprus and Burgas, some are "reviewing" their stance, while others "are not
sufficiently convinced," according to Bulgarian Prime Minister Marin Raikov.
But in the U.S., there is no doubt. Early 2013, the U.S. Congress invited
the EU to blacklist Hezbollah. An invitation reiterated by some of
Washington's top officials, to Israel's utmost satisfaction.
For Matthew Levitt, Hezbollah is a key ally of Iran - maybe even its
military proxy - playing "a central role in Iran's shadow war with the
West." Taking advantage of the leniency of some European capitals, Hezbollah
has strengthened its network in Europe, recruiting and positioning agents
all across the continent. Bi-nationals with ties with Lebanon have the ideal
profile. Recruited at age 19, Hossam Taleb Yaacoub had a Swedish passport
and did not arouse the suspicion of European police. This allowed him to
travel frequently from Turkey to the Netherlands, through Lyon, in
east-central France, carrying mysterious packages for Hezbollah.
It was the same for the men who operated in Bulgaria: one of them was
Canadian, the other Australian; they had entered the country legally.
Nothing in their attitude betrayed the true objective of their stay.
Bulgarian investigators describe them as smart-looking youths, dressed head
to toe with big-brand clothes. They rented cars and booked hotel rooms with
fake U.S. drivers' licenses. That was their only mistake. "The documents
were made by a forger in Lebanon, known by our colleagues from Western
intelligence services," explains Bulgaria's organized crime czar, Stanimir
Florov. Money transfers from Lebanon, as well as a photo on which relatives
of one of the terrorists posed with high-ranking Hezbollah militants,
convinced Bulgarian officials: All the tracks lead back to Beirut.
Counter-terrorism experts also noted a "professionalization" of Hezbollah
agents abroad. "Using fake IDs, speaking foreign languages, conspiracy
techniques and coded communications. as well as a secrecy between members,
which is the best way to protect other members, " explains a European police
official.
Hossam Taleb Yaacoub has always claimed he had never been face-to-face with
his Lebanese handler and that he did not know the real purpose of his
mission. This could also be the case for the young man who died in the
explosion of the bomb he carried in his backpack, in front of the Israeli
tourists' bus at the Burgas airport. First described as a "suicide bomber,"
he was "probably fooled by his the other two team members, who managed to
escape the bombing," says a Bulgarian investigator. Nothing, not even his
DNA was able to establish his true identity.
