Episode 429: Cocaine and Combat - How Hamas backers Hezbollah are funded by drug money

The eyes of the world have been on the terrorist organisation Hezbollah and what they might do as Israel pound Gaza on a mission to destroy Hamas.


But who are the Lebanese based group and what sort of war chest might they have should they intensify support for Hamas.


Nicola and Niall talk with Financial Times correspondent and author Miles Johnson whose recent book Chasing Shadows explores the relationship between Hezbollah and the cocaine trade.


They talk about the Kinahan organisation, money laundering and the money machine of terrorism.
