MEXICO CITY — Mexican prosecutors say they won a 60-year prison term for a human smuggler who helped about 200 people — including Hezbollah supporters — sneak into the U.S.

Salim Boughader Mucharrafille was arrested in 2002 and convicted on organized-crime and immigrant-smuggling charges.

Boughader, a Mexican of Lebanese descent, ran a cafe in the city of Tijuana, across the border from San Diego.

Among those he smuggled were sympathizers of Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based group that U.S. authorities have labeled a terrorist organization.
