1. (S/NF) Summary- RSO Tegucigalpa, working with Embassy
collection elements, has found a possible link between
telephone number called by Abdel Rahman Nassar and two
Jordanian subjects with known alien smuggling groups within
Central AMERICA and Hizbollah terror group in the middle
east. End Summary


2. (S/NF) During the initial RSO investigation it was
determined that the three subjects stayed in the Monteverde
hotel in the northern Honduran city of San Pedro Sula. The
subjects made six phone calls to a Honduran registered
cellphone, number 504-387-1709 and a call to a Chicago area
mobile phone, number 708-307-6933.



3. (S/NF) On October, 12, 2004 RSO passed the Honduran
cellular telephone number, to include the main number of the
hotel, to other U.S. agencies, in order to conduct number
checks. Preliminary information indicates that a possible
link exists between the Honduran phone numbers to alien
smuggling groups and terror groups.


4. (S/NF) Information collected indicates that the Honduran
cell phone, that the subjects called, then made numerous
calls to a number in Great Britain, and a number in the
Southern Honduran city of Choluteca, phone number
504-880-3884. Preliminary checks revealed a link between
phone line in the Honduran city of Choluteca, and various
numbers in the middle east with possible ties to Hizbollah
and HAMAS. Initial checks of the number in Great Britain,
phone number 44-208-792-6263, revealed calls placed to Cuba,
North Korea, Egypt, and Asencion Island, Georgetown.


5. (S/NF) The initial checks conducted on the main number
to the Monteverde Hotel, phone number 504-556-6239, revealed
that numerous calls were made from this number to central
American alien smugglers.


6. (S/NF) The preliminary information collected indicates
that there is a possibility that Rahman Nassar is a
facilitator in an alien smuggling ring that is operating
through out Central America. These calls could indicate that
he was being assisted by others in this region who are
involved in smuggling of Special Interest Aliens (SIA's).


7. (S/NF) All RSO's please share with representatives of all
U.S. agencies abroad.


8. (S/NF) POC for this case is ARSO Bill Stowell.
