MIAMI (AP) - Three men are being charged in Miami with illegally exporting products to a South American shopping center, which U.S. officials say is a front to finance the Hezbollah terrorist group.

An indictment unsealed Friday charges the three with violating a U.S. ban on doing business with the Lebanon-based organization, which is listed as a terrorist group by the U.S.

The men allegedly exported goods to the shopping center in Paraguay that U.S. officials say is a fundraising conduit for Hezbollah. The shopping center is owned by a man described as the senior Hezbollah leader in a part of South America known as the Tri-Border Area, encompassing parts of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

The men were expected to make an initial federal court appearance Friday.

It is amazing how wealthy the supporters of these terrorists are. How high and how deep does it go?

Other than Israel, is there a country that does not harbour them and finance them?
