Hezbollah and PlayStation, Houthis and Qat, Nabati Sleeper Cells…….
“US prosecutors on Tuesday accused 10 people of having supported the Shiite militant group Hezbollah with weapons, fake passports, counterfeit money, stolen laptops and game consoles…….. Among the merchandise were over 5,500 pairs of Nike shoes and 334 Mitchell & Ness sports jerseys........ Hamdan and three others -- two Americans and a Venezuelan -- were charged with having spearheaded the trafficking of over 1,500 cellphones, nearly 150 laptop computers, 400 Sony PlayStation 2 systems and three cars starting around late 2007…..……”
I never knew that Hassan Nasrallah, Na’im Qasim, et al were into PlayStation gaming. He would also look funny in sports jerseys, even 334 of them, being as pudgy as he is (too many plates of tasty Lebanese food, especially Knafa from Ajami’s or Samadi’s). Pudgy he may be, but he won't make a convincing Santa.
Maybe they were planning fundraiser gaming contests in the Southern Suburb, or maybe the cluster bombs that were dropped on them in July 2006 turned them onto gaming.
I would seriously look into trafficking in the narcotic “Qat” leaf to nab supporters of that other future terrorist threat to the homeland security of the United States, the Yemeni Houthis in their mountain hideouts (coming to a press conference near you). Then there is the Nabati Poets Society (Diwaniyat Sh’uraa al-Nabat) who may have sleeper cells in Brooklyn or Dearborn…….
