"'Like Iran, Hezbollah considers the United States and Israel to be its chief enemies, which has led to a global terrorist campaign against the two nations. Until September 11, 2001, Hezbollah was responsible for killing more Americans than any other terrorist organization...The group’s manifesto describes the U.S. as the root of abomination and declares that its “determination to fight the U.S. is solid,' says think tank Counter Extremism Project (CEP)."

The statement also highlights that many former Atomwaffen Division members joined Active Club Canada, including the two arrestees."

The extremism expert Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler from the transatlantic think tank “Counter Extremism Project” has long been warning about possible risks."
