July 20, 2010 Exclusive: Why Was This National Story Missed? W. <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.44/author_detail.asp> Thomas Smith, Jr. Convicted felon Hassan Jamile Salame of Dearborn Heights (just over five miles from the city of Dearborn), Michigan, reportedly has been charged with attempted "smuggling of guns and ammunition out of the United States" and "being a felon in possession of firearms and ammunition," according to U.S. Attorney William Nettles (as reported in only two South Carolina publications last week). According to the indictment, Salame allegedly tried to smuggle weapons and ammunition from the U.S. to Lebanon while he was in South Carolina. But the 800-pound gorilla in the room (pardon the cliche) is that Hassan Jamile Salame (clearly a Muslim name) is from Dearborn Heights- Dearborn, Michigan (a hotbed of Shia Islam with an increasing number of Hizballah sympathizers which concerns intelligence and counterterrorism experts nationwide). Hizballah (which is an Iranian-supported Shia terrorist army, which the U.S. State Dept. has officially designated a terrorist organization) is based in Lebanon (Hizballah's primary base of operations) where Salame allegedly tried to smuggle "the guns and ammunition." But what's even more disturbing is that there were only two publications nationwide that covered this story - the Charleston (S.C.) Post Courier and WIS-TV's website (the NBC affiliate in Columbia) - and neither mentions or even attempts to make the starkly obvious Hizballah connection. <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/> FamilySecurityMatters.org Contributing Editor <http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/authors/id.44/author_detail.asp> W.
