Illegal alien caught at border says he's a Hebollah terrorist and plans to make a bomb

Maybe it was just a bit of jihadi humor, or maybe it was a jihadi telling the truth. A Lebanese national was stopped at the US southern border over a week ago and told border officials that he was a member of Hezbollah and planned to make a bomb in the United States.

The would-be terrorist, 22-year-old Basel Bassel Ebbadi was arrested on March 9th near El Paso, Texas, in what was documented as a "Significant Arrest."

[H/T New York Post.]

“El Paso Sector Intelligence Agents assigned to the Tactical Terrorism Response Team (TTRT) interviewed Basel Bassel EBBADI from Lebanon after he made terroristic threats to personnel at the EP Sector Hardened Facility,” the document said. “Post Miranda, Basel Bassel EBBADI claimed membership to a foreign terrorist organization.”

So the idiot was Maranda-ized and made that confession just two days after his arrest when being medically evaluated. He was asked what he was doing in the U.S. to which the moron replied: “I’m going to try to make a bomb.”

We don't catch the smart ones.

Ebbadi was reportedly training for 7 years with Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group currently trying to wipe Israel off the face of the earth, while operating out of Lebanon. He said that he was responsible for guarding Hezbollah's weapons.

The schmuck then told officials that his training focused on “jihad” and killing people “that was not Muslim,” the report said. He was planning on making his way to New York, a good hunting ground for non-Muslims and a substantial number of Jews.

The NY Post report was viewed tens of millions of times on X on Sunday and generated notable responses from conservative leaders with hardly a keyboard peck by the left.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) posted: “Biden’s open border is an open invitation for Iran-backed terrorists to infiltrate our homeland. This will only get worse until Biden secures the border.”

And it probably is but we haven't seen the results of this stupidity yet. They're called "sleeper cells." I'm not saying they exist, but you'd have to be a fool to think they don't.
