Hezbollah's link to Boko Haram

     It is no secret that Iran's Al-Qud's forces have had a significant role in funding, arming and training Hezbollah in Lebanon.   What I recently learned from Robert Baer, in his new book, "The Perfect Kill," is that the Shi'ite Lebanese have long had a colony in Kano, Nigeria, an area in the north of Nigeria where Boko Haram has had a strong presence and waged numerous violent assaults.  The Shi'ite Lebanese compose the bulwark of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and it is certainly a plausible possibility that Iran has had a hand in the formation of and direction of Boko Haram by way of the Lebanese colony in Kano, Nigeria.
