Earlier this month, the Department of Justice announced that two
men, Ali Kourani and Samer El Debek, had been arrested and charged with
carrying out various missions on behalf of Hizballah's Islamic Jihad
Organization. The IJO serves as Hizballah's external operations wing,
carrying out clandestine missions on behalf of Iran around the world. The complaints
allege that Kourani and El Debek were both members of the IJO, which is
ultimately controlled by Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who in turn
reports “directly" to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
