Pushing aside his empty plate, he said, “Terrorist connections are part of my job at OSBI. Right now, I’m working with the FBI and Homeland Security on a human smuggling ring being run by one of the drug cartels out of Mexico. They’re using the I-35 corridor from Texas on up to Oklahoma and beyond. We’re not talking about some poor farm workers coming north to look for work either.”
“So who are they?”
“The FBI has identified them as a group affiliated with Hezbollah. One of the Agency’s operatives in Syria gave us solid intel indicating Iran and Syria have set up a joint operation smuggling Hezbollah extremists into the States. We believe they’re setting up sleeper cells somewhere in this area.”
I nodded. “Is Iran funding them?”
“That’s what all the field reports suggest. Iran keeps threatening to bring down all kinds of havoc on us if we bomb their nuclear sites. I’m betting that’s what this is all about.”
