A Suriname man accused of seeking to provide the Islamist group Hezbollah with a permanent South American base for staging attacks against the U.S. pleaded guilty in Manhattan to three counts.
Dino Bouterse, 41, who held himself out to be the commander of Suriname’s counter-terrorism unit, said today at a hearing in New York federal court that in 2013 he provided a fake Surinamese passport “to be used in support of Hezbollah” and brandished a pistol during related drug deals.
