The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced the creation of a special task force to investigate and pursue prosecutions of individuals and networks that provided support to the Hezbollah terror group.
The announcement comes after a December order by Attorney General Jeff Sessions for a review of how Project Cassandra, a law enforcement initiative targeting Hezbollah’s drug trafficking and related operations in the United States and abroad, was handled by Obama-era officials.
