Three suspected Hezbollah operatives were arrested in Merida, Mexico, on Sunday.

One of the three, Rafik Mohammad al-Laboun, who is a US citizen, was extradited to the American authorities soon after his arrest by Mexican security forces, Reforma newspaper reported. Laboun was wanted by the US prior to his arrest.

The two other alleged Hezbollah members, Justin Yasser Safa from Belize, and George Abdalah Elders, remained in Mexican custody.

While Laboun was sent to a security facility in Houston, AFP reported the whereabouts of Elders and Safa are unknown.

    1. :) I can't figure out why they haven't already done something big as there must be an untold number of them here by now.
