Following up on the triborder area nine,

Last week I posted that the US Treasury Dept. had

designated nine individuals and two entities that have provided financial and logistical support to the Hizballah terrorist organization. The designees are located in the Tri-Border Area (TBA) of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay and have provided financial and other services for Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) Assad Ahmad Barakat, who was previously designated in June 2004 for his support to Hizballah leadership.

I just found out that The Office of Foreign Assets Control has released the names, addresses, and passport numbers of those individuals.
