Description: "07/21/2000: An FBI affidavit charged 18 people with smuggling cigarettes out of North Carolina to raise money for Hizballah in Lebanon. FBI agents arrested most of the suspects in raids on houses and businesses in the Charlotte area. The FBI affidavit indicated that the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) provided information that detainee M. Harb flew from Charlotte to Seattle in 1994 to deliver a series of forged checks to Mohammad Hassan Dbouk, who used them to buy night-vision goggles and other items for Hizballah. Harb also provided money for computers and cameras. Also jailed was Ahmed Ali Harari, who was alleged to have stored an arsenal with his brothers."
