Former Dearborn, MI man linked to Hezbollah?  Dearborn.  Dearborn. For some reason, that city rings a bell.  What’s eating Dearborn, MI?   And this former Dearborn man also has direct ties to Canada, which has its own large share of Islamic terror cells …

BY DAVID ASHENFELTER – “Federal prosecutors in Detroit have unsealed a two-year-old criminal indictment against a former Dearborn man who, they say, tried to use a phony U.S. passport to sneak into Israel in 2000 to carry out a bombing for Hizballah.

The indictment, handed down in August 2009, said Faouzi Mohamad Ayoub, 44, who also goes by the name Fawzi Ayoub, used a passport in the name of Frank Mariano Boschi to try to get into Israel. The U.S. State Department has designated Hizballah as a Lebanese terrorist group.

The indictment was unsealed Friday, two days after the FBI added the man’s name and photo to its most wanted terrorist list. There are 31 others on the list.

It’s unclear why Ayoub was added to the list so long after the 2000 incident, whether he was arrested in the episode and when and how long he lived in Dearborn…

The government said he was born in Lebanon, immigrated to Canada and was recruited by Hizballah’s Canadian branch.” Read more.
