Iran: Mullahs' intentions of sending explosives to Venezuela
Saturday, 17 January 2009
By Reza Shafa
New details about the Iranian regime's objectives from
sending explosive material to Venezuela
----
In less than a week, three shipments from the mullahs'
regime have been held by Turkey. The most important
one was bound for Venezuela.
On January 7, the Turkish government officially
announced that the Iranian regime's shipments seized
at the Mediterranean port of Mersin contained enough
material to set up an explosive lab. Suleyman Tosun,
a senior Turkish customs official, said that after a
search of 22 containers labelled "tractor parts,"
it was concluded that they do not contain such material
at all, but that instead authorities detected illegal
lab equipment with fake B/Ls (Bill of Landing) and
labels.
The shipment was transported to the port of Mersin by
a truck from Iran. One kind of material detected
inside the shipments were chemicals such as Nitrate
and Sulphite with "danger" signs attached to their
containers. Turkish officials said that these are
material used for explosives.
The Mersin incident occurred after Turkish police
seized another Iranian truck bound for Spain. After
examinations, 100 kilos of heroin were found in
the truck.
The third shipment of the Iranian regime seized in >>
Turkey was an Iranian bus by which 10,000 fake Euro
coins were being smuggled.
A report by the Trumpet.com (January 8) talked about
some of the motives of the Iranian regime from
sending lab equipment to Venezuela, saying,
"Iran's proxy Hezbollah is already heavily involved
in Venezuela. . For Iran, Venezuela is an important
base of operations. . Hezbollah also has links with
Mexican drug-smuggling cartels. Hezbollah is in the
drug business, but the even greater danger is that
it could smuggle something much more catastrophically
explosive into the U.S."
The sending of an explosive lab to Venezuela from
Iran has increased the chances that such material
could be used in terrorist attacks. "And perhaps a
more important question is: What has Iran shipped to
Venezuela already that customs' officials didn't
catch," the website asked.
It is thus clear what the regime's objectives are
when it boasts about operating joint ventures in
Venezuela including assembly of tractors and cars.
While factories in Iran itself continue to go
bankrupt and protests and demonstrations by
aggravated workers and the unemployed take place on
a daily basis, projects and ventures in Latin America
and Venezuela can only be seen as part and parcel of
the regime's overall policies which are unpopular at
home and go against Iran's national interests.
In truth, such claims by the Iranian regime have no
other purpose than to serve as a cover for
clandestine terrorist activities. Needless to say,
the policy of exporting terror and brewing more
crises abroad is vital for the regime and its survival.
