Pittsburgh man who wanted to join Hezbollah ‘to kill Jews’ arrested

The Jerusalem Post reports: “An American-Irish citizen who traveled to Lebanon and Syria in an attempt to join the Hezbollah terrorist organization and fulfill his desire to kill Jews was arrested on Monday for making false statements to FBI agents, the Western District of Pennsylvania US Attorney’s Office announced. 

Jack Danaher Molloy, 24, had converted to Shia Islam in February and traveled to Lebanon in August. According to an affidavit, Molloy was in contact with several individuals who sought to help him with his quest to join the terrorist organization.

Molloy had difficulty in enlisting with Hezbollah because he didn’t know Arabic, and the terrorist organization wasn’t recruiting foreigners during the October 7 War with Israel in the wake of intelligence failures like the September pager bomb attacks. 

Molloy told an associate that he had been ‘told very politely that Hezb isn’t recruiting anymore’ because ‘They can’t even trust Lebanese at this point’ because of ‘too many security breaches.’…”
