I think for many Americans, including me and other members of Congress, we always believed or knew that there were terrorist operatives in South America because of the well known terrorist attacks that we've talked about here, but perhaps didn't know that Hezbollah was so intertwined with the government of President Maduro as it was previously with President Chavez of Venezuela. And I wonder if maybe starting with Mr. Levitt, you could comment on that. I guess as I think about Hezbollah, I think they're not just a terrorist organization, but they also basically run the government in Lebanon. (01:48–01:58)
