TERRORISM: BIN LADEN'S SON IN IRAN, EXPERTS SAY

 

Dubai, 30 March (AKI) - Osama bin Laden's son, Saad bin Laden, and a number of leaders of the al-Qaeda terrorist network are in Iran, according to a group of terrorism experts featured in a programme on the Arabic satellite television channel Al Arabiya. The programme, entitled "The Death Factory, is expected to air on Friday evening. The programme is part of a weekly series that examines Islamic terrorism and armed groups active in Iraq and other warzones.

 

According to these experts, the leader of al-Qaeda's old guard have either been arrested or are free but under the surveillance of Iranian authorities.

 

Among these al-Qaeda members is Saad bin Laden, as well as Sayf al-Adel, the former spokesperson of the group, as well as Suleyman Abu al-Ghaith, Muhammad Shouki al-Islambuli and other Arab terrorists.

 

According to a researcher at the Centre for Arab-Iranian Studies in London, Nuri Zadah, all these al-Qaeda members are believed to be in Iran since the fall of the hardline Taliban regime in Afghanistan in late 2001.

 

This opinion was shared by the Egyptian researcher, Abdel Rahim Ali, who also noted that the former al-Qaeda spokesman, Kuwaiti, Suleyman Abu al-Ghaith, is in Iran because his government refused the offer by the Iranian authorities to send him to Kuwait City.

CNN is now reporting that it was NOT Saad bin Laden they saw but rather Nancy Pelosi wearing a handkerchief on her head.

 

 

Actually, I was thinking the Bush twins in Iran would be more of a danger to mid-East peace (there's an oxymoron) than Bin Laden's Son. :wallbash:

Its doubtful that a Sunni extremist group like Al Queda will ever have an extensive foothold in Iran, a hard line Shite regime.

 

I'm not a huge Zakaria fan, but this was an excellent article which sheds some light on the Sunni-Shiite rift and what it means for al-Qaeda.

 

Instead of plagerizing the article in an attempt to appear smart, I will settle for the fact that I actually remember an article I read two months ago in a magazine, and was smart enough to find it on the Web. That's good enough for me...
