Alexei Saab (a/k/a Ali Hassan Saab), a New Jersey resident, has been indicted for gathering intelligence for the terrorist organization Hezbollah on such sites as Times Square, Grand Central Station, the Empire State Building and various airports, tunnels and bridges in the New York Metropolitan area. The purpose of scouting out these sites was to determine how to inflict the most harm in an attack. Saab was trained not only in intelligence gathering but bomb-making as well.

Hezbollah is a violent terrorist organization based in Lebanon and strongly supported by Iran. It is arguably the most lethal state-trained terror force in the world with operatives located in many countries, particularly the United States. Some of the operatives are used for fundraising or public relations while others gather intelligence and are prepared to carry out deadly violence. It is assumed, for instance, that if the United States were at war with Iran, Hezbollah would carry out attacks within our country.

Saab entered the United States legally in 2000 and became a citizen in 2008. Though he denied ever belonging to a terrorist organization when he applied for citizenship, he had joined Hezbollah in 1996 where he received firearms training; transferred over to Hezbollah’s external unit - Islamic Jihad - where he received extensive bomb making and explosives training; and spied on Israeli military movements.

According to the indictment Saab’s Intelligence goal in New York was to determine the “structural weaknesses of the locations he surveilled to determine how a future attack could cause the most destruction (and) calculate the size of bomb needed to target a particular structure and the ideal location in which to place the explosive devices to maximize damages.”
Besides New York, Saab surveilled other locations including Fenway Park in Boston and the Washington Monument.

He was also charged with taking part in a phony marriage scam to help a co-conspirator obtain citizenship.

Several years ago the NYPD tailed so-called Iranian “diplomats” surveilling New York landmarks and had them deported.

Saab’s indictment demonstrates the terrorist threat against New York is ongoing and that we must never lower our guard. We cannot allow political correctness and mindless criticism from left wing media outlets or progressive politicians deter federal, state and local law enforcement from doing their job of protecting the American people. We never want to see another 9/11.

Thank you for all you do Peter King..... God Bless America . Please continue in the fight to keep us safe🙏

But a sitting President can just hand deliver billions of dollars to the Government that supports Hezbollah and media is silent and no one even gets indicted! Sad state of our society.

Thank you Peter King, you put it all in perspective

And to think we have a sitting Congresswoman Rashida Talib who helped fundraise money for Hezbollah and is still in Congress, The wolf is in the henhouse.

Proud you represent me, Mr. King. God bless you and the USA 🇺🇸

Treacherous times we are living. Thank God for law enforcement

Mr king u support the IRA and the IRA support hezbollah.the IRA fly hezbollah flags in west Belfast,so that makes u a terrorist supporter to..

Thank you for sharing the truth about a lunatic among us. America must remain diligent.

Thank you for being vigilant and reminding us how important it is that we Don’t forget ,rest on our laurels &/or become complacent in this war on / of terrorism .Whether it be domestic as this man now is ,or international ,which Hezbollah is ,they are Not to be trusted ,they need to be monitored for planning new acts . Your commitment to be looking at the whole picture is one aspect of how well you do your job ; for that I am thankful ,grateful .Never forget ,if you see something say something .Godspeed sir .

Lockem up!

Congressman there is only one you...you are strong and don’t follow the crowd...🇺🇸

Pete,God Bless you for the work that you do to keep us safe.

Looks like 'some people' tried to do something

A President extorting a foreign country to manufacture dirt on a political opponent is a high crime warranting impeachment and removal from office. Congressman King, where do you stand on that?

Amen!!!

Which is why Trump’s wall is a waste of money. The majority of undocumented aliens in the US entered legally and overstayed their visas. We should secure our borders but we don’t need a wall for that. If we really needed a wall, then why didn’t you Republicans do it during the first two years of Trump’s administration when you controlled both houses of Congress? Because you all knew it was idiotic and that the money would be better spent elsewhere.

Hang him.

Get your snowflake heads out of the sand. This is real.

Thank you Governor Murphy for making this sanctuary state a safe haven for people like this- whether he was a legal resident or not

I hope he is given the death penalty.

When will the left realize that we will always be a target. The terrorists are relentless they will never stop. That’s why we need people like you In congress to open their eyes.

Thank you, Congressman, for all you do to protect America! God bless the USA!

This is a crazy world we live in now & sorry to say now politicians want to weaken our second amendment rights with the red flag laws. I’m sorry to say the only people that you people are hurting are the people that follow the laws. I have not heard what politicians are going to do to criminals & gang members who do not get their guns legally? I’m still waiting for a answer & any politicians who vote for the red flag law have lost my vote & I know many people who feel the same way

Great job law enforcement. I believe our enemy is amongst us. Always be careful. Never forget 9/11

It sounds like you’re more concerned with this guy’s religion, ethnicity, and immigration status than you are with his terrorist involvement
