In case you are incompetent or a liberal, let me break this news. Ties between al Queda and Iran are growing, according to Western officials. Shocking! An Islamic fascist state and an islamic fascist group having ties? You must be kidding me! No, it appears there is evidence for Dems to deny.Evidence that Iranian territory is being used as a base by al-Qaeda to help in terrorist operations in Iraq and elsewhere is growing, say western officials.
It is not clear how much the al-Qaeda operation, described by one official as a money and communications hub, is being tolerated or encouraged by the Iranian government, they said.
The group’s operatives, who link the al-Qaeda leadership in Pakistan with their disciples in Iraq, the Levant and North Africa, move with relative freedom in the country, they said.
The officials said the creation of some kind of al-Qaeda hub in Iran appears to be separate from the group of seven senior al-Qaeda figures, including Saad bin Laden, son of the group’s figurehead, that Iran is said to have detained since 2002.
A senior US official said the information had produced different assessments. “The most conservative, cautious intelligence assessment is that [the Iranian authorities] are turning a blind eye
The official then said it is not clear to what extent Iran is cooperating. Well, if they are not arresting and taking these animals off the street and turning a blind eye, they are aiding and abetting. I remember somebody talking about being with us or against us, do you?
