CIA tracks Al-Qaida moving from Iran

It's one of the enduring mysteries of the war on terrorism: What will become of the al-Qaida leaders and operatives who fled into Iran after 9/11 and have been detained there for years?

Their fate has long been a blindspot for U.S. intelligence. Recently, however, some al-Qaida figures have quietly made their way out of Iran, raising the prospect that the country is loosening its grip on the terror group so it can replenish its ranks, former and current U.S. intelligence officials say.

This movement could indicate that Iran is re-examining its murky relationship with al-Qaida at a time when the U.S. is stepping up drone attacks in Pakistan and weakening the group's leadership. Any influx of manpower could hand al-Qaida a boost in morale and expertise and threaten to disrupt stability in the region.

3. You hit the nail on the head with that one....

I just report the shit. I don't create it!

2. Meh. There's no upside for Iran in that deal.

That, and they hate Al Qaeda, probably more deeply than they hate the US.

They'll just jihad the world next month with a BIG mushroom :nuke: and get their red-hot virgins in the afterlife.

5. AP dutifully reports propaganda

Al Queda in Iran?

If one were to have counted the number of Al Queda "leaders" killed, captured or identified as living in Pakistan or Iran by the mainstream media, the number would by now surely be in the tens of thousands. It seems one cannot swing a dead cat without hitting another Al Queda leader.
