Illegal migrant from Lebanon caught at border admitted he's a Hezbollah terrorist and hoped ‘to make a bomb' in US
[NY Post] How many others have gotten through? FJB
A Lebanese migrant who was caught sneaking over the border admitted he’s a member of Hezbollah, he hoped to make a bomb, and his destination was New York, The Post can reveal.

Basel Bassel Ebbadi, 22, was caught by border patrol on March 9 near El Paso, Texas. While in custody he asked what he was doing in the US, to which he replied: "I’m going to try to make a bomb," according to a Border Patrol document exclusively obtained by The Post.

In a subsequent sworn interview, Ebbadi said he had trained with Hezbollah for seven years and served as an active member guarding weapons locations for another four years, according to internal ICE documents.

Ebbadi’s training focused on "jihad" and killing people "that was not Muslim," he said.

Border agents continue to see a surge in migrants whose names appear on the terror watchlist entering the US illegally as crossings continue at record levels.

#1 When did they release him? How much in EBT cards did they give him? Limo service? Did Mayor Adams put him up at the Ritz Carlton's Presidents suite? So many questions.
