SAO PAULO, BRAZIL – It has been confirmed by United States and Brazilian secret services that the recent attacks on the US embassy in Brazil were orchestrated by the Joya Del Oeste, a powerful Venezuelan drug cartel. The cartel appears to have fabricated the allegation that the OPL, a Bolivian terrorist organization, was responsible for the attacks. The information was released in a joint statement by the United States and Brazilian governments.
SAO PAULO, BRAZIL – Brazilian secret services has reported that the OPL has strong ties and backing to the Joya Del Oeste, a large drug cartel in Venezuela.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Brazilian government has responded to the recent attacks on the US embassy in the Brazilian capital of Brasilia. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva released a statement saying that while he regrets the loss of life and promises to investigate the recent attack. He also strongly condemned the attacks by the Bolivian group and deplored the inability of the Bolivian government to inform the other governments of the OAS of the growing terrorist threat within their nation.

CIUDAD DEL ESTE, Paraguay - The Iranian-backed Hezbollah militia has taken root in South America, fostering a well-financed force of Islamist radicals boiling with hatred for the United States and ready to die to prove it, according to militia members, U.S. officials and police agencies across the continent.
From its Western base in a remote region divided by the borders of Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina known as the Tri-border, or the Triple Frontier, Hezbollah has mined the frustrations of many Muslims among about 25,000 Arab residents whose families immigrated mainly from Lebanon in two waves, after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war and after the 1985 Lebanese civil war.
An investigation by Telemundo and NBC News has uncovered details of an extensive smuggling network run by Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim group founded in Lebanon in 1982 that the United States has labeled an international terrorist organization. The operation funnels large sums of money to militia leaders in the Middle East and finances training camps, propaganda operations and bomb attacks in South America, according to U.S. and South American officials.
U.S. officials fear that poorly patrolled borders and rampant corruption in the Tri-border region could make it easy for Hezbollah terrorists to infiltrate the southern U.S. border. From the largely lawless region, it is easy for potential terrorists, without detection, to book passage to the United States through Brazil and then Mexico simply by posing as tourists.
They are men like Mustafa Khalil Meri, a young Arab Muslim whom Telemundo interviewed in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay’s second-largest city and the center of the Tri-border region. There is nothing particularly distinctive about him, but beneath the everyday T-shirt he wears beats the heart of a devoted Hezbollah militiaman.
“If he attacks Iran, in two minutes Obama is dead,” Meri said. “We are Muslims. I am Hezbollah. We are Muslims, and we will defend our countries at any time they are attacked.”
At 0720 this morning, a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship headed to Abkhazia was seized and detained by the Georgian Coast Guard. The name of this ship is Joya del Oeste and belongs to the Venezuelan state-owned Compania Anonima Venezolana de Navegacion (CAVN). The cargo ship was carrying seeds, grains and fertilizer. However, the Georgian government has claimed that illegal weapons headed for the Abkhaz region were found aboard the ship. As one of the few countries that recognize the sovereignty of Abkhazia and South Ossetia, the Venezuelan Government finds this claim absolutely absurd and illegal and part of the West’s imperialist and expansionist agenda in the region.
