Is Hezbollah Spying On The CIA?

November 14, 2007 · Mustapha Hamoui

Lebanese-born Nada Prouty faked her way into an American citizenship, worked for the FBI and the CIA and was caught snooping yesterday in top secret Hezbollah files.

Apparently, Nada had the information passed to relatives with “ties to Hezbollah”. She pleaded guilty with most charges and promised to help in the investigation. 

Because it has all the elements of a drama -an illegal immigrant, the CIA and a Muslim terrorist organization- the story is snowballing in the American blogosphere, and it seems the repercussions are going to be bad to all of you people who have an American passport but who were born and raised in Lebanon. Don’t despair, perhaps working for the CIA wasn’t for you after all.
