“Hezbollah’s external operations group, known as Unit 910” is reported to be “even more active in Canada than they were in the United States.”

Ali Kourani, “member of Hezbollah’s external operations unit, the Islamic Jihad Organization….collected ‘detailed information’ about Toronto’s Pearson airport.” This was according to a report circulated by Canada’s air safety agency; and Kourani was not operating alone….

The Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group had tasked Kourani to collect the information so it could plan attacks, according to U.S. prosecutors. Kourani was arrested in 2017.

Hizballah is an Iranian proxy and back in 2012, the former Conservative government of Canada shut down Iran’s embassy in Ottawa because of  a tight network of Iranian jihadists that were expanding a “fifth column” in Canada. The intent was to “mobilize loyalists of the Islamic Republic to infiltrate the Canadian Government and….attack the United States.”  Then in 2017, Liberal MP Majid Jowhari was found to be lobbying the Canadian government to reopen embassies in Ottawa and Iran. Jowhari went so far as to sponsor a petition with over 5,600 names, to re-establish diplomatic ties with Iran.  Then it was revealed that in October of that same year, that former Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre had quietly traveled to Iran, where he signed “a groundbreaking agreement with the jihad-funding rogue regime to “boost mutual cooperation in various fields.”


According to the Macdonald Laurier Institute in Canada, Iran’s influence in Canada is a “real concern”:

“Canada’s democracy is under threat from a variety of rogue state-sponsored actors, including from Iran. Their goal is to create conflict in Canadian public life, gather intelligence, and intimidate opponents”

There is only one reason why a member of Iran’s proxy Hezbollah’s external operations unit– the Islamic Jihad Organization–could possibly be collecting “detailed information” on Toronto Pearson’s International Airport. As stated by US prosecutors, it is with the intention to plan jihadist attacks at an unknown time at Toronto airport.

Canada is under enemy combatant attack with a globalist leadership that ascribes to open-door immigration and the return of Islamic State fighters. It is also a country that has become saturated with “Islamophobia” lies perpetrated by Islamic supremacist groups; while its leadership is more concerned about “offending” Muslims than the safety of its own people and loyalty to its heritage.


“Hezbollah operative collected information on Toronto’s Pearson airport”, by Stewart Bell, Global News, June 20, 2019:

A Hezbollah operative collected “detailed information” about Toronto’s Pearson airport, according to a report circulated by Canada’s air safety agency and obtained by Global News.
The June 18 Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) report reproduced an article about Ali Kourani, a member of Hezbollah’s external operations unit, the Islamic Jihad Organization.
A sleeper agent based in the United States, Kourani visited Pearson airport seven times and gathered information about security measures there until his arrest, the CATSA Open Source Information Report said.
Kourani also scouted New York’s JFK airport and U.S government facilities. He passed the results of his surveillance activities to his Hezbollah handler in Lebanon on digital storage devices.
The Iran-backed Lebanese terrorist group had tasked Kourani to collect the information so it could plan attacks, according to U.S. prosecutors. Kourani was arrested in 2017.
“CATSA’s priority is to offer the highest levels of security to the travelling public,” spokesperson Christine Langlois told Global News on Wednesday. “We won’t be commenting further on this article.”
Last month, a U.S. court convicted Kourani of eight counts related to his work as a Hezbollah deep-cover operative. He is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 27.
“Kourani’s chilling mission was to help procure weapons and gather intelligence about potential targets in the U.S. for Hezbollah terrorist attacks,” the U.S. Department of Justice said in a news release.
But evidence disclosed during his trial showed he also conducted surveillance for Hezbollah in Canada and was married to a Lebanese-Canadian.
Kourani told the FBI about his contacts with a Canadian airport employee, Hezbollah expert Matthew Levitt wrote in the Foreign Policy article that formed the basis of the report reproduced by CATSA.
While they smoked a hookah together, the employee told Kourani about the locations of security cameras and metal detectors, Levitt wrote, adding, “Kourani said he could ask the man to carry a bag onto an airplane for him, and he would do it.”
Kourani told the FBI that Hezbollah’s external operations group, known as Unit 910, was “even more active in Canada than they were in the United States.”….
