Liberty Nation News Now that the Islamic State (ISIS) is in disarray and all but eliminated, it might be tempting for the US to be lulled into a false sense of security. As the nation is focused on the issue of racial violence, the threat of radical Islamic terror seems to be all but completely forgotten. But a recent report reveals that radical extremists are still intent on targeting the United States.
The next radical Islamic threat may not come from a group like ISIS. Instead, it appears that one of the oldest players in the world of extremism is readying itself to face the United States. Hezbollah, an Iran-backed terrorist group, seems to be gearing up for a jihad against America.
Hezbollah In The US?
A grand jury recently charged a New Jersey man with being an operative for Hezbollah, an Iranian terrorist organization that is primarily active in Lebanon. The group has a long history of carrying out terror attacks against Israel and fought a bloody war with the Jewish state in 2006.
The authorities are alleging that Alexei Saab, a 42-year-old naturalized citizen from Lebanon, was scouting for potential sites for terrorist attacks. These targets included the Statue of Liberty, the United Nations headquarters, the Empire State Building, and several other sensitive locations.
