Hizballah's Canadian Procurement Network




Foundation for Defense of Democracies
August 2012
Hizballah has leveraged its worldwide network of members and sympathizers to secure financial, logistical, and other types of support. Procurement of goods ranging from weapons to dual-use items (e.g., night-vision goggles and clock timers) is a critical component of these efforts. In Canada, Hizballah has long maintained a robust network of agents able to purchase such items on the open market and send them to Lebanon. Matthew Levitt explores this network in depth in a chapter from a recently published compilation on violent extremism in Canada.
