Via a Kriston Capps IM, the Los Angeles Times cuts open one of the bricks and has a taste:
U.S. and Colombian investigators have dismantled an international cocaine smuggling and money laundering ring that allegedly used part of its profits to finance Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based Shiite militia, officials said Tuesday.
Culminating a two-year investigation, authorities arrested at least 36 suspects in recent days, including an accused Lebanese kingpin in Bogota, the Colombian capital. Chekry Harb, who used the alias "Taliban," acted as the hub of an unusual and alarming alliance between South American cocaine traffickers and Middle Eastern militants, Colombian investigators allege.
Read that again. His name on the street was Taliban. Well, he did say he wasn’t Greek.
But take that, Williamsburgtrash. Every time you sniff that baby-laxative-cut nonsense, you finance the explosion of the next Jerusalem Sbarro. The blood is on your upper lip.
