Mexico nuclear threat
Detonating a nuclear weapon in or over Juárez, Mexico, is the same as detonating one in El Paso, Texas: the difference is that it may be a little easier to do in Juárez. From the heart of downtown El Paso to downtown Juárez is a very short distance. Or a bomb on the international bridge that divides the two countries empties into Avenida Juárez in downtown Juárez in the south and in downtown El Paso in the north, it could do the job and would be easy for any terrorist to pull off. Nowhere else on the planet are two major cities from two different nations so closely knit and vulnerable, or so easy to visit from either side, day or night.
A nuclear weapon placed in Juárez Mexico could kill more than two million people, nearly half of them Americans who live in both El Paso and Juárez.
Just a historical reminder: the atomic bomb called “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 a.m. on August 6, 1945, 62 years ago.
Of growing concern to some US officials is the way in which terrorists south of the border are taking advantage of the lack of sophistication of the Mexicans because of their inability and unwillingness to protect their own borders from terrorist infiltration and are using the low Mexican immigration standards and the US opens the border to sneak into Mexico or the US with a nuke or dirty bomb.
Former CIA director R. James Woolsey told NewsMax in an exclusive interview that terrorists could attack the American homeland, possibly with a weapon of mass destruction.
A terrorist attack with a nuclear, dirty bomb or biological weapons was “a real possibility”. Woolsey’s comments echo those of FBI Director Robert Mueller, who told NewsMax that al-Qaeda’s primary objective is clear: to detonate a nuclear device that would kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.
Tens of millions of radical Muslims, mostly of Arab descent, live in Latin America.
International law enforcement authorities fighting terrorism are increasingly concerned about a large influx into Mexico of Arabic-speaking visitors with Cuban, Russian, Greek, Dutch and other European passports.
Many of the passport holders could not even speak the language of their supposed homeland, according to a secret report released to Mexican lawmakers.
Intelligence sources have been warning us that they have noticed a tendency among Islamic terrorists to operate in Mexico. Mexico, with a territory slightly larger than Alaska and with geographic extremes that have proven perfect for hiding bombs, weapons, illegal immigrants, and drugs, is what is currently happening south of our border.
According to the “INM” (Mex. Immigr.), just last week six adult Iraqi men were detained in Tapachula, Chiapas state, when they tried to reach the Federal District of Mexico and from there to go to the United States. In their preliminary statement, the six said that they entered through Central America, arrived in Guatemala and that there they bought the false passports of Greece and the Netherlands that they initially presented to Mexican officials upon arrest. They also assured that they crossed the Suchiate river (border with Mexico and Guatemala) in a raft.
The names on the fake passports were Hristov Eroslavov Dobromir, Mirian Sitkinas, Carlos Harden, Stevan Bergian, Vasileios Venetis and Vasilev Martinov Georgi.
Two other Iraqis with false Bulgarian passports were detected and detained at the Monterrey, Nuevo León airport. Now, Mexican officials are investigating “a network that could be made up of Mexicans operating in Greece and selling false Bulgarian passports for $10,000 to European and Middle Eastern citizens.” Last year, 28 illegal immigrants from Iraq were detected at the Monterrey airport alone (El Porvenir said there were 23, seventeen of them in a single event).
The last two, “Wisam Gorgies”, 34 years old. old man, and “Rana Nazar Peyoz”, 26 years old. old woman, she flew from Madrid and said that she obtained the false passports in Greece; her goal was to reach the United States.
The Mexican government is very concerned about the increase in known members of the Mexican Communist Party converting to Islam, stemming from recent immigrants importing new radical jihadist philosophies into their ranks. These people are also active in Islamic missionary work that converts the poor and destitute with promises of a better life under Islam.
These terrorists are organized into cells active throughout the country of Mexico according to a Mexican general who wishes to remain anonymous. I have seen documents describing some of the drug cartels’ cooperation with terrorists using their existing routes through Mexico to the states. Islamic terrorists are paying millions to Mexicans to transport their drugs from Afghanistan, as well as weapons and people. These elaborate, well-defined drug routes traverse a network of border crossings that also point to complex cooperation between various “smuggling and terrorist cartels.” These belong to jihadist organizations like al-Qaeda, joining forces with local drug lords, developing and oiling their smuggling skids with money all the way to Mexico with the ultimate goal of reaching the US.
With the nature of lawlessness, bribery, poverty and lawlessness in Mexico, it allows operatives from terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and Hamas to operate with impunity. These organizations have turned Mexico into a logistics attack base.
The growing danger is that terrorists from militant Islam have entered Mexico. Some of them have ties to smugglers operating in US states bordering Mexico, especially those with connections in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California.
Seasoned counterterrorism experts report that the border with Mexico is the Achilles heel of the Department of Homeland Security.
Islam is on the move in Mexico and throughout Latin America, making dramatic gains in converting the native population, increasing immigration, establishing businesses and charities, and attracting the attention of US government officials who have asked its southern neighbors to keep an eye on foreign Muslims. groups
Al-Qaeda and other allied organizations are expanding their operations throughout Mexico, establishing both legitimate and criminal enterprises to help finance future attack operations.
According to the US ambassador to Venezuela, Charles Shapiro, almost all extremist terrorist groups are now represented in Latin America.
Pentagon officials have confirmed that people smuggling networks in Latin America are trying to infiltrate al-Qaeda operatives in the US.
Counterterrorism experts say extremist cells linked to Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad and the al Qaeda network are operating in Argentina, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay and Uruguay.
FBI Director Robert Mueller told a congressional panel that illegal immigrants from countries with ties to al-Qaeda have crossed into the United States from Mexico using false identities.
Mueller said some of the aliens are people with Middle Eastern names who adopted Hispanic surnames before entering the US.
“We are concerned, Homeland Security is concerned about special interest aliens coming into the United States,” Mueller said.
US Bush administration officials previously said that al-Qaeda could try to infiltrate the United States through the Mexican border.
Al-Qaeda has become deeply involved in cocaine and heroin trafficking, arms and uranium smuggling, CD and DVD counterfeiting, and money laundering activities.
Non-Mexicans loaded with cash are often more difficult to intercept because they typically pay high-level smugglers a large sum of money to efficiently help them establish themselves in Mexico or help them cross the border, rather than traverse it on their own. .
According to WorldNetDaily, many of the United States’ enemies have targeted Mexico to locate and undermine security in the Americas and weaken the United States politically and strategically. Several US adversaries have chosen Mexico as their infiltration route. And US politicians are throwing the doors wide open to our enemies with the NAFTA and The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) programs.
Robert Grenier, former head of the CIA’s counterterrorism center, told a news conference in Mexico that Muslim terrorist organizations see illegal immigration and drug trafficking networks in Latin American nations as the most effective way to move people and equipment to the U.S.
Grenier said the Bush administration fears that both Hamas and Hizballah already have sleeper cells operating in Mexico.
Hamas and Hizballah have threatened in the past to extend their war against Israel to include the United States.
