Another day, another criminal or terrorist who was caught crossing the border.
Just to make it better (and by that I mean worse), this guy was a member of Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist organization that attacks Israel from the north.
That’s right, Basel Bassel Ebbadi (try saying that three times fast) was caught on March 9 near El Paso, Texas (why do they always seem to cross there?), by Border Patrol.
When interrogated on what he was in the United States for, this genius decided to say « I’m going to try to make a bomb, » and admitted to being part of Hezbollah for eleven years. He intended to go to New York (where he, apparently as a 22-year-old, would get 60 days in a shelter thanks to new modifications to NYC’s « right-to-shelter » laws).
Ebbadi also admitted to using a fake name at least once on his way to the border and claimed his papers were stolen in Costa Rica and that his father lived in Ecuador.
You would think Hezbollah would send a guy who could convincingly lie about his origins or would be less likely to crack under pressure when questioned, but Ebbadi also claimed in his testimony that he « didn’t want to kill people » and that he was apparently trying to defect from the group.
