3 Americans, among 21 other people, were killed in an Islamic bombing of a passenger plane.
An Islamic terrorist group calling itself Ansar Allah claimed credit for the bombing of the Panamanian plane in 1994, but the attack was widely attributed to Hezbollah
The attack on Alas Chiricanas Flight 901 was mostly forgotten, but the FBI sometimes has a long memory.
Then in September, in a move that drew almost no media notice, the FBI’s Miami field office suddenly put up a new “Seeking Information” bulletin naming Ali Hage Zaki Jalil, a 52-year-old Arab parachutist and apparent arms trafficker, reportedly of Lebanese nationality.
Jalil, who was being harbored by the Venezuelan regime, has now been extradited.
On April 20, 2026, Ali Zaki Hage Jalil arrived in Panama after Venezuela approved his extradition in connection with the 1994 bombing of Alas Chiricanas Flight 901, marking the most significant breakthrough in the case in three decades.
On March 27, 2026, Venezuela’s Sala de Casación Penal issued a sentence authorizing the extradition of Ali Zaki Hage Jalil. This decision has significance beyond the individual case. Under the Maduro regime, Venezuela functioned as a permissive environment for Hezbollah-linked actors, Iranian proxies, and transnational criminal networks.
The post-Maduro administration has signaled a reorientation toward cooperation with the United States, and this transfer, executed with U.S. oversight, represents a concrete expression of that shift.
Quite a few of the Muslim terrorists who attacked planes got away with it. But perhaps not this time.
Grabbing Maduro worked.
Good work Daniel.
Colleges have had admitted, demonstrably unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers speak on campus. Ayers was a member of the Weather Underground. He is quoted in the NY Times on …wait for it…9-11 as saying he didn’t regret his terrorist acts and wishes he would have done more. One college brought Ayers in to speak as part of its “Exemplary Life Series.”
Maybe Jalil has a future on the college lecture circuit. Some “stuff” you cannot make up.
You know, if not for the courage and focus of President Donald J. Trump, this would not have happened!
We should never, we must never, we cannot ever forget this.
It is fascinating to see justice finally being served after three decades; it really highlights how the shift in international cooperation can change the landscape of global security. Regarding the mention of the “Sala de Casación Penal” and the specific legal mechanisms that facilitated this extradition from Venezuela, does anyone know if this sets a new precedent for other pending cases involving international proxies in the region? I’ve been reading about how certain verified frameworks, like those detailed at https://guiadebetsafeperu.com/casino/en-vivo, utilize high-level encryption and strict auditing to maintain transparency in complex environments, and I’m curious if the legal oversight in this transfer followed a similarly rigorous digital or procedural verification to prevent any future appeals.
