Two men, Patrick Nayyar and Conrad Stanisclaus Mulholland, have been indicted for attempting to assist Hezbollah, a group on the State Department's list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations, according to a press release issued by the Justice Department.

Nayyar was originally arrested on September 26 in Queens. He is an illegal immigrant from India and has pled not guilty to all charges. Mulholland has not been arrested yet.

"During a series of meetings with a confidential informant working with the FBI, who represented himself as working for Hizballah, Nayyar and Mulholland agreed to sell guns, ammunition, vehicles, bulletproof vests and night vision goggles to the confidential informant," the press release states.

"During these meetings, Nayyar and Mulholland provided the confidential informant with a handgun, a box of ammunition and a pick-up truck, believing that the confidential informant would deliver the items to Hizballah in Lebanon."

Prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, Hezbollah was the terrorist organization that had claimed the most American lives. The group has carried out several high-profile terrorist attacks including the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Lebanon, and the bombing of a Jewish cultural center in Argentina in 1994. Its attacks on Israel have also caused numerous armed conflicts, such as the 2006 invasion of Lebanon by Israeli forces.

In recent years, Hezbollah has been accused of supporting insurgents and terrorists in Iraq targeting American and Iraqi forces with sponsorship from Syria and Iran.
