当局周三表示,厄瓜多尔已逮捕一名被美国认定为恐怖分子威胁的叙利亚男子,该男子据称隶属于伊朗支持的激进组织真主党。
此次逮捕行动发生之际,厄瓜多尔总统丹尼尔·诺沃亚的政府(诺沃亚是美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的盟友)正在美国的支持下对贩毒团伙展开打击行动。
厄瓜多尔内政部长约翰·雷姆伯格在X平台(原推特)上表示,该男子是在移民当局与国家警察情报部门的联合行动中被捕的。
雷姆伯格称,这名仅被确认为M.K.的男子在没有合法证件的情况下进入厄瓜多尔,已启动对其的驱逐程序。
他表示,厄瓜多尔当局对该男子并不陌生,该男子曾于2005年因领导一个据称代表真主党转移数百万美元的贩毒网络而被捕。
这名嫌疑人于2012年获得临时释放。
雷姆伯格说:”存在企图在该国活动的国际恐怖组织,丹尼尔·诺沃亚总统的政府绝不允许这种情况发生。”
总部位于黎巴嫩的真主党目前正作为美国和以色列对伊朗发动的中东战争的一部分,与以色列作战。

诺沃亚去年颁布法令,将真主党和巴勒斯坦激进组织哈马斯列为恐怖组织。
总统声称,这些组织向在厄瓜多尔活动的贩毒团伙提供建议。
本月早些时候,在获得美国支持的情况下,厄瓜多尔对贩毒分子展开了行动。两国都是特朗普本月早些时候在一次峰会上发起的一个由17个国家组成的打击贩毒联盟的成员。
美国和厄瓜多尔军队最近在厄瓜多尔境内进行了联合打击行动,厄瓜多尔军方还在北部边境附近击沉了一艘”毒品潜艇”。本月早些时候,美国联邦调查局(FBI)表示,将在厄瓜多尔开设办事处,与当地警方合作调查有组织犯罪、洗钱和腐败问题。
诺沃亚过去两年一直在打击可卡因贩子,但相关犯罪率——包括谋杀、失踪和勒索案件——并未下降。
Alleged Hezbollah member on U.S. terror list is arrested in Ecuador
March 26, 2026 / 8:11 AM EDT / CBS/AFP
Ecuador has arrested a Syrian man identified as a terrorist threat by the United States for belonging to Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, authorities said Wednesday.
The arrest came as the government of Ecuadoran President Daniel Noboa, an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, wages a crackdown on drug trafficking gangs, with Washington’s backing.
Ecuadoran Interior Minister John Reimberg said on X the man had been arrested in a joint operation between immigration authorities and the national police intelligence service.
“Deportation proceedings have been initiated” against the man, who was identified only as M.K. and entered Ecuador without proper documentation, said Reimberg.
He said the man was known to Ecuadoran authorities, having been arrested in the country in 2005 on charges of leading a drug trafficking network that allegedly moved millions of dollars on behalf of Hezbollah.
The suspect had been granted provisional release in 2012.
“There are international terrorist groups that intend to operate in the country, and President Daniel Noboa’s Government will not allow it,” Reimberg said.
xLebanon-based Hezbollah is currently fighting with Israel as part of the Middle East war unleashed by U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran.

Noboa last year issued a decree blacklisting Hezbollah and Palestinian militant group Hamas as terrorist organizations.
The president claims the groups advise drug trafficking gangs operating in Ecuador.
Earlier this month, Ecuador launched operations against drug traffickers with support from the U.S. The two countries are part of a 17-country cartel-fighting alliance launched by Mr. Trump at a summit earlier this month.
U.S. and Ecuadoran forces recently conducted joint strikes inside Ecuador, and Ecuador’s military sank a “narco sub” near its northern border. Earlier this month, the FBI said it would open an office in Ecuador to investigate organized crime, money laundering, and corruption in conjunction with local police.
Noboa has spent the past two years targeting cocaine traffickers, but the rates of associated crimes including murders, disappearances and extortion have not fallen.
