Detroit, MI - FBI Monitors Area for Hezbollah Related Activity

Detroit, MI - Federal agents are keeping close tabs on the Detroit area for activity related to Hezbollah.

The FBI has renewed contacts with informants, held private meetings with Arab-American and Muslim leaders and voiced concern about public support shown for Hezbollah at rallies.
Authorities also have alerted local leaders in the Jewish community about potential security threats at synagogues.

But officials say there's no evidence of any specific or immediate threats.

About 300,000 southeastern Michigan residents have roots in the Arab world. And about 72,000 Jews live in the area.
