crises was, every single connection mapped out shows the geopolitical reality. the on the board is what makes things the way they are mapped out. navigating a changing world. now on youtube, they burst into areas whenever they feel like doing a 1000 kind of for design and fashion, and paint most abusive in the sky. many on, including the odds of survival. how do they do in the secret lives of good dogs may 22nd on dw, the

the, the so you know, everyone in the,

they route that they felt they were being passed. and they told me, i thought that it was another foaming to assess the night may go to the other day by them. i don't know, we won't touch sight. it was as if we were walking and how big you're behind. i'm not, i mean the roads up blocks go to the hospital on foot. that it was a zip to city and been laid into a coughing and as never a much tremendous disc. good, the bustle said unless the explosion shook level is capital, they leave more than 100 people have died for and full size of the injured or the cause. it's still not clear in the seems of volume calls the explosion of some 2700 tons of ammonium nitrate pools. $2750.00 tons of money of an

entree. the only hezbollah could unload ammonium nitrate to the court. the end as a signal signal up until delay routes. polk has without as political nature such 6 of us. so this nitrate belongs to hezbollah has brought it there and enjoyed it there for 6 years. some of his life today, i want to offer a categorical and that absolute horrible, and definitive denial. and we have nothing at the port. but most of the, of the hezbollah is a political party. it is a social movement. it is also a massive militia, larger, better armed, better train at the moment. he is armed forces. it is an international terrace

organization. the has made out pay to look like the mine or the re determined dorm project. that has to uh, was operate like a global drug product. we do them as one of the most significant and transnational criminal organizations slash cartels, last mafia that we have ever come across the spell as dangerous as well as big as bows. not 10 feet to the

the shadow of hezbollah hangs over the explosion that favorites port any investigation? this seemed impossible. it's as if the is limits, the organization has absolute impunity. for 40 years, its members have infiltrated lebanese politics and define justice. the see a muslim group, dreams of establishing religious lou sharea like in iran and yet in the mid to thousands, several agents from the d. e a. the us drug enforcement administration tried in secret to bring down his below

their investigation, took them to full continents, revealing the hidden face of his bella, arabic, full policy of don't be full found during their operations. code name was cassandra named up to the figuring greek mythology people so misfortune, but was ignored. the investigation began in the united states in the aftermath of the attack on the world trade center. the tom, a former agent with the drug enforcement administration known as the d. e. a in the united states. i worked in the da for 28 years. the drug and fortunately administration was formed to be the lead agency in america

to go after the drug trafficking organizations, the the, i'm from new york, obviously. so the devastation of $911.00. my brother was in the united states air force. he went to afghanistan to fight for the country, and he came back in a body bag because helicopter crashed on operation enduring freedom. so i'm very passionate about national security and public safety. so i was actually giving it a golden opportunity to run the d. a special operations division, post $911.00, the jack kelly. is it the agent? we recruited him to work at the special operations division. when he 1st got there, he was working in the latin america section,

which was focusing on colombia. so he became the leader of the team. so i'm a supervisor now at special operations division. the idea is the follow the money or so us and then under cover fashion is posing as criminals that know how to warn or money. and we would do that for the cartel. and now we're to afford us to infiltrate cartels to the highest level because we're doing what their boss is considered. the most important thing. getting the money back into their hands from the drugs that were sold in places like the bronx, new york, all

does everything. okay. have you finalize the sale precinct? yes, and i know of course the thank god great mentioned that during the war a tap investigations in columbia that we went into shifting a lot of arabic conversation. that was something new to me as the head of the special operations division like i didn't really understand it and i had to learn over the years like what was going on. a hello. hello, but listen, i need a favor is very unfortunately just the just the tell me what is to show, but they need to borrow 20000 dollars like this for them really just the you back tomorrow and let me know. yes, of course. i know the information we're receiving is that as well as organization, this has made a presence in latin america, specifically to be involved in good cocaine trade and cocaine proceed. money order

. one of the top lieutenants is a guys that speaks arabic, and his name is taliban. they call and talbot, because they call every hour a guy down there, taliban after $911.00. we do some searches, some quick searches in different databases and we find out that his name is jeffery har checked the hard was no 2 people united states government, the check the hard was tied directly to iran has was impossible terrorist attacks the so what happens is we introduce under cover agents. one of the under covers is,

is so because he's of lebanese descent, speaks arabic literally and is actually going to me check read in columbus. the, to check and tells the undercover i move multi ton loads of cocaine to port ok. a box in jordan, and then it gets moved through syria to 11 on the to as well. i imagine then you're, you're must be pretty close to has more. if you're going to be moving cocaine through syria 11, i checked the heart just smiles widely and nods. his head, yes. yes i am working with has for

so check your horses through the undercover. we have a project for you. we have $20000000.00 that needs to be on. can you do that for us? the undercover. so certainly we can do that for you are on the coverage and it's such a good job. convincing them that he was this real bad guy. they offered him the contract to pick up $20000000.00, which he did. 20000000 is a lot of money. i'm not aware of too many, you know, undercover agents picking up $20000000.00 from back the now that the under cover appear to be a criminal superstars in the mind of betty, he perhaps could run the operations in the middle east. so basically this,

the under cover was going to become the medi lieutenant in charge of the middle east, cocaine trafficking and money order to we have found this incredible news, definitive tie between columbia and cocaine trafficking, specifically out of many to islamic extremist terrace organization that killed more americans than anybody before? 911. so this was extraordinary. it was a novel idea, but i think to other people in the united states government is seen fanciful because i had never heard of anything like this. and basically the party line was

that hezbollah was too religious to be involved in drug track. the, now the on the why the american saying this, this, what do they have against has been a and how for us drugs, hard on the religion forbid, science from buying and dealing drugs. when uh, as most as, yeah, that'd be the case. i knew the deal, so how could we traffic drugs when we prohibit them?

and i said, oh, it's not true. let me tell you a secret. so yeah, so that 2 years ago we decided we wouldn't take part in any trade at all. no bank, no smaller fee a i'm a dish and not even in partnership with those either the national recycling must be causing any business thought and waste issues with corruption amenities and you have to make concessions to my 2nd fee and we'll set one up literally. 6 the pointers will know what the americans claim that has been law is involved in corruption and money laundering. they want to tanya show and reputation and convince the people south of the on the good side. i mean, i'm the dat fighting terror and why that corruption, that i had the in office, the whole, these weapons, these rifles, these fish and the blood of motors, show the entire world. that after all these decades,

the passive disappear has come to an end. the way in the world is hezbollah operating is terry? i don't know when we're a resistance movement. the obviously don't want us to resist hezbollah resist. hezbollah is honest history. speaks for itself is not the the

of the people that fights them in favor. come in disagreement at 5 gallon c. it's no longer clear who's fighting. who is the search for his beloved drug traffic has lifted the agents to dig into the can you all take violent history of living on the birthplace of the policy of god. in 1975 civil war broke housing by route. the was mainly for between the various religious and cultural communities. christians, sony muslims, shia muslims, drew's and palestinians. in june

1980 to another party during the war seas riley army, which invaded lebanon to find the palestinians. the fighting, threatened stability in the middle east, french and us soldiers arrived hoping to restore peace. they became the target of a vin, unknown organization, which had slowly so we'd let the known as any foreign presence. the so called duty war. again, the, i'm the national has the law senate, and for this i me, you with man, with many in 1982. when has been around was phoned. i was one of the founders. we oppose the west and presence in lebanon. and the we have always wanted them to

leave the country and stop influencing this situation. and what happened on the occlusal mean look, none will allow us to the luck. i live not is allowed to be a we router has once again been struck by a terrible attack on this time the americans with a target in their own embassy. it's believed about 40 people were killed on it. and the chief, you should be small, soul building, suddenly collapse. it was a us embassy disease is a 1st major confrontation between has prolonged the americans on the line. the 2nd time talking to the multinational forces composed primarily of americans. very,

it's also a french british and to tell you in the us now the yeah, the had to have at least 2000 pounds. cmt was observed coming at a high rate of speed from the south of the building to the gate and through the guard, and then detonated inside the lobby. there's a crater down there about the lake. this was the 1st suicide, foaming in lebanon, huffman. look, and there was nothing like it before it got here. doesn't our region nothing. our country has beloved brought this terrorist method on to liberty. so i oh i'm no, i mean setting it up. i'll be with, let me no, mary saw the following orders issued by the leader of hezbollah as on forces to

carry out a suicide. oh my god, i'm make of tremble beneath the feet of our enemies about the united states and is right. how many ago was that all i d as to hear the monitors without a doubt, the biggest secret of 5 success. not causing any fight. yes. that your opponent is trying to kill you and to take your like, uh, well, you only have about even losing your life is not that important to you either an if achieving your goal is what matters. most of all the heads of your opponent, lucy's, or power over you have sarah lydia, sophia, and you'll site that i like for you. a suicide bombing is, is, is

a message is we will stop at nothing. we are smarter than you. you are a big bureaucracy and we can beat you the so france in, in the united states are on the same boat at this point. you know, we're trying to figure out what is happening in lab and on we want to know the names of our enemy, our picture, while i know where they are and how we get to. and once we find them, we have delta force, which i work with very closely with go killed them. those my orders. war for an intelligence officer. really. it gets your adrenalin going. this is a 1980 to 1983. i was on the border with lebanon, and that was

a real fascination because we were at war the you're seeing the is really just come down to that call. you're driving down the road and to new jersey is showing above you, the navy farms there is biggest volkswagens. so that was my entre into the middle east. the, his ball a as a name did not exist in 82. they bring all the disparate to groups, she a groups together and created a unified resistance. the

one i know we did not want the occupier to know who a fight as well as the fact that we took advantage of that period to organize our samples. yet that well after that we carried down to operations in the name of the is lot make resistance of the problem and it's let me, yeah, let me not be 2nd us. it wasn't until 1985 that we officially announced the existence of has belong the, the cdm it was. so it's a 6. you mean just your 11 issue and population is because determines puts an end to the same 100 years of humiliation. these extend the wake of the range in

revolutions, the lebanese muslim extremists found within the political boss. has philosophy been a deal of the policy is gone for did you difficult to go to? these fanatics is clear really say we all the soldiers evolved on such as if they were 5 and we went to the stomach with hopefully before we will make live and use these. not the remember i say to is just not quite 3 years after the running revolution and for the running revolution. one camp teller was the export of the revolution, the, the

uranium came to a webinar and said, look, we will help you if you help yourselves. and put a fighting group together. you people know how to shoot guns. you know how to blow stuff up. we will give you the money. we will not interfere. you know how to do it, go do it. the only p, the things will already spot. everything has blocked to come a major plan with the new method of losing costs or trump phones, driven by suicide. almost if what you were, camille pg advocate to contact us for c. l street only then winced another phase 5, which was hostage taking the

trip on another one. it's the 3rd hijacking this week involving by route and this time the plane, and most of the passengers are from the united states, the w way, 5847 was on route from athens to rome this morning when it was hijacked by suspected she, i muslims, and force defied of a roof. they are beating the beating the standing in front of the p. w. a flight 8 or 7. only a few feet from a cock that i can see captain john test right next to one of the gun money on the carpet on your cell. the showing what is happening to you and what's happening to you now. not very much is happening to us now they speak english. can you communicate

with them? sometimes better than others. it depends on who's on board. many people in america we're calling for some kind of rescue operation, or i think that we'd all be dead man, if they did, because we're continually surrounded by many, many guards and whether or not see my model, the key is the man inside the copies of the t w, i flying to p w a was the big point. now your husband was only terrorist activities. he was not a particularly religious person. at 1st he served as a body guard, but went on to become the head of as well as terrorist operations. in part by being involved in almost everything from the beginning. so here's a guy who was on the kill list of the most sides of the c i a for many

years, the movie it was in the airplane, we found this fingerprint, but that was not moved me in the window. did they ever do that never show his face in public. never, never, never, never. he never showed himself to the hostages because he knew one day to be released and he didn't want to be identified. he was ghost and he knew how to remain a ghost. i plan to kill him. it was that saturday and his entire group operations in secret. like in the other, we didn't know anything about them. probably they were smaller numbers. the carry that significant to task and functions gives me the, the, the

law lim, vehicle that the a as belong had nothing to do with the kidnappings and the tax. whatever. marines and french paratroopers went up to 10 millions, one in mobile unit 5. i've seen the g, i seem happy to leave lebanese soil and to the board. the american warships patrolling off the coast to the the uranium is oversaw the most potent, a symmetrical military force in modern history are ever don't forget the french and the americans were run out by a guy who had about 20 people in history. there's nothing to compare it with

fema move, nea and his beloved had won the americans in french, less living on humiliated and scott by ongoing suicide bombings and hostage taking . but the dusky war of the 1980s had left its mach washington and eventually designated hezbollah as a foreign terrorist organization. and the mod mcneal became a mocked man in the mid to thousands. when the agents of the d. e. a launched projects, cassandra, they thought they could avenge those killed in by roots and eliminate the old enemy . fema mcneil, the, they were planning the infiltration of hezbollah as traffic in networks in jordan,

the but the agents from the c, i, a, the central intelligence agency of the united states would happy to see these cowboys encroaching on their domain, the jordanian anti narcotics police. go up on intercepts of numbers identified in jordan link to check the heart. and what happened was that there was going to be a big meeting in amman, jordan, and at that meeting directory har boys told to introduce the under cover to an extremely significant member or members on has no telling me this guy can be fully trusting. there's no risk in them of a there's nothing to worry about. i thought, oh, it's important we knew where he's from, you know, no, he's not

a risk. don't worry about the name of because of the all right. we were hearing and we believe for various reasons that hard was under the guidance and protection of bug near the or under a time crunch. now, because the undercover is obviously can't move cocaine with has more and wouldn't be able to longer money for has. so we realized that whatever evidence we gain in this amman jordan meeting might be the last chance the and for day a toby for the meeting will shut down by members of the us embassy enjoyed

this day did not allow. 0 the undercover agent to meet with the operators on the ground enjoyed and there was no real explanation given. which to be honest was very, very annoying. and very disturb the, the ad folks in the intelligence community that has the use of knowledge on hezbollah. pretty much looking down at the d. yeah. like how does the da know about has the became like a fly in there. so the, the under cover reached out to check re harbor to check the harv wouldn't talk.

don't check your heart, wouldn't respond. so he is completely blown off, so we lost our undercover infiltration of of check regard. so the opportunity was, was 1st the not only was the opportunity burn. what are the on the covers life was now in big time danger as the head of the special operations vision that pissed me off the ceiling a, the us intelligence agency had capsized a project, cassandra, organized by the d, a. the anti drug agency. the rivalry between the 2 agencies was emblematic of washington's weakness in the face of an enemy that had mutated and matured.

by that time, has bella was more than a terrorist faction. it presented itself as a respectable political policy with representatives in the lebanese parliament who defended the interests of the lone marginalized she community. the political leader was her son serrano. a cleric trained in iran, in the background, has bella with its military leader, ima mcneil continued fighting the war against israel. cooling itself, the resistance unlike the western nations who had left lebanon. these railey military continue to occupy the south of the country so that he will go to these railways and the western is did not understand, has pronounced doctrine for its principles. as the law has. the law is based on

faith in islam a one slam. and this line is based on jihad, and she had the well at the bottom of his below is stronger than ever. despite all the countries that accuse it of terrorism on the we don't need any one else. we only want to take bag and i, and deliberate country had a little bit of the c d because what this was has been last called night captured the hans and phone of

our people for quite a while, even though they were she, i see she 90 percent of the world's most inoculation soon. hot history the you she's to look at his paula. i mean whoever side you aren't as robin hood. if you're lebanese and you're tired of being humiliated, who do you have you got his ball and that's it. the children, the elderly, every one was out on the streets in some places hezbollah had to say, hey,

grandpa slowed down. you have to at least wait until the israelis are gone. why? the 0? the? yeah, a lot. that has what she loved then. so here's what i is there as well. my husband always looks after you after the bus itself. but monica, who would keep you up the slightest injury there. they always cared for the wounded halloween and their families being literally low. and then we'll assess to show that they take care of everything. then begin the hosting. uh yes, please. i beg you for the love of god, my back on

my that done for his vo. uh, a fighting politics, social welfare provision. they are all about creating a culture of resistance of mccollum on the i'm on a new today where a true popular phone keeping with women and children, young men and the elderly. less than let's say the entire family belongs to hezbollah as well. not. and if we're not an ordinary organization id, yes,

the so now i have to say what the site is, the military leader, as well as the political anita, and she had a there's no distinction between the 2 percent of the seller get the non look good because some estrada is an impressive formidable man. no, he's an exceptional public speaker. come guy, long. good. spoken to her. okay. perfect. so he can talk to them this lives, and in a while, you won't, you won't one hour project and we have no choice but to carry it out. and that's why we are followers of a doctrine of our project, is to create any slavic state with this slumber governance.

think of natural as robust appear, incorruptible. trying to create a revolution and is done the best of the data segment. say it has um, but a lot of you just see i got to know his excellency, so you'd have something that's around the personally wrong. at one meeting before 2000, i put my hand on his shoulder and not i have thought the that for let's say that someone took a photo of us to pick a lot of us all. the

i don't produce ring came from seed. and it this copy of the koran how this also came from said. busy of the, the on the left, if you go to the girl used during what you might call the floor. you guys have has block. we used to go to ness ramos place a to prove yet. i remember how we will change cos and drive away from the guy right to new, another vehicle. i just don't you lived with you the civic, but they didn't blindfold, you know? so you didn't really know where you, what the subject was at the level use the

so you know, you are in the show themselves, the penalty security call to let this cool, similar a bar sink was located to the why haven't the is released killed him or the drone because we can't find them. he knows about telephones. he knows about drones. he knows all this stuff. he knows how to stay alive. he's a survivor like min via same mold. the leak the flood cliff home before you left for this you sometimes he's very directly sup. well, sometimes it just touches on. so things we should know better than muslim communities . it could be less something we called the key is untrue suppressed. and we also have to say, we just seen a quick scroll, the key is not to play city. that the key sits a kind of decor. well,

you turn to was revealed the entire truth to jesse all subjects. to spectra drew to k 50, the one who didn't get c, n, v, as the monkey who would like to do about 11 or stuff the in the early 2, thousands, the west didn't notice his below expanding its influence in lebanon. at the time, the international community was focused on a rock. the us had just invited the country and was facing vs resistance from local militias. many of them were she and, and financed by a ron. what the us didn't know what the time was the lebanese find his from his beloved had come to help their rocky brothers in the name of shiite solidarity and

defiance against a common enemy. the, it's started uh with the war in iraq and my involvement as an advisor to wear us special operations command on the ground in iraq against the eighty's, which were called explosively form project house f piece. this weapon, the way it was designed, had extraordinary ferocity and explosive impacts on very small tube with the copper plate with veal,

the huge explosion enough to cut it. m one a one tank almost in half between. never seen anyone build to do with any sort of complex process. the it was the signature of weapons. so the fact that it was being used against americans forces told me that as well. i had to be on the ground just below instructors train approximately $20.00 to $60.00 rockies at a time, sending them back to iraq, organized into these special groups. they're being taught how to use the these borders rockets. the

explosive project was being employed in iraq against american forces was designed by has and demand behind the creation of this weapon was invited to meet the. so i started hearing about the president's man, they called him the president's man because he had worked directly for president bush in the bush white house. i was focusing on the finances and i was aware that a great deal of money involving the p networks, interact with being derived from a cash houses and 11. the

something sort of remarkable happened. we started to see phone selectors. they were tied to the financing of i the attacks in iraq. there were then, apparently in touch with numbers in south america. the i was like, are they really mean? and i think they need to call columbia. i said what, what does this mean? i mean, i think this is very bizarre, but this pattern kept happy. the why these people in touch? what do they talk now? what do they do? and i realize suddenly, are these guys turning to colombian? the sources of narco financing, the funder operations on the cross, the for,

i mean, it is a light went on, may have because i was familiar with narcotics trafficking in global money laundering for organized crime. the drug money at one level or another was making its way the prophets for making their way into the world around the wow. if we can track this money and we get tied to drugs. and then we were to pursue the drug track and start to take down the drug business. we can start to really put a financial hit around has possibility operating arrived, the

by orders were to attack this foggy situation. and then to try to tie this into the leadership and the leadership being to model the so i wanted to go after the has full, i was developing this world wide capability and generate and billions of dollars and we had to take action the for them to turn to narcotics trafficking was the greatest gift we could ever be given. suddenly we had a new way of using lost their not warfare to attack at a terrace organization finances. and when i reached it up the chain at the us central command to general alan and then threw him the general for trace their way hutch. great idea. what can we, we couldn't dream of something better than this because like,

we can't fight those guys. washington regarded, has been lives involvement in the death of us soldiers in iraq as a declaration of war and re launched project. cassandra, the d. e. a had free reign to tackle the posse of gold in the name of national security. they wanted to go after their money when they go out to their networks, i want to take down their finances. i want to go after their backs they had criminalized themselves, we needed to reveal that so world enter their own people. the,
