The popular American news website The Daily Beast has long been known for its scoops.
Back in December 2011, for example, it alerted the world to concerns emanating from U.S. intelligence circles and Congress about the threat posed to the homeland by Iranian machinations in Latin America.
According to one Juan Carlos Muñoz Ledo interviewed by the outlet, Iranian designs on the hemisphere involved a plot “to attack the mainframes and computers associated with government agencies and major businesses in the United States.”
Muñoz Ledo, a former computing instructor at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, had collaborated in the making of a sensational Univision documentary titled La amenaza iraní—“The Iranian Threat”—that fueled the notion of a predatory Islamic Republic setting up shop in America’s backyard.
As The Daily Beast noted, Muñoz Ledo had supplied “hidden footage” he’d filmed during a 2007 encounter with then-Iranian ambassador to Mexico Mohammad Hassan Ghadiri. As I’ve pointed out before, the incriminating footage consisted of things like the ambassador sitting in a chair. Ghadiri, for his part, claimed that a group from the university had proposed the idea of a cybernetic attack on the U.S. to his embassy but that “we refused… They seemed to me to be C.I.A. agents.”
Fast forward to July 2014 and The Daily Beast was once again at the vanguard of the news industry with the catchy headline: “Hezbollah Profits From Hash as Syria Goes to Pot.” READ MORE AT TeleSUR ENGLISH.
