IRAN HOLDING TOP AL-QAIDA LEADERS?
By Buut Shikan, Idol Breaker
There are reports in the Arabic and
Pakistani
publications that Iran has
captured TOP Taliban leaders, including Ayman
al-Zawahiri, Ghaith Kuwaiti and
Osama's son who was taking part in the
Jihad.
Iran is denying this in a way which seems to
be more cunning than
truthful. Iran says that it is holding (50 or
more) Al-Qaida prisoners and is
negotiating with the countries from which they
came.
Veteran observers of Iran say that Iran was
infiltrated by the
CIA
soon
after Imam Khomeini passed away. There is a whole
group of Iranians, including
thousands in North Tehran, who openly side with
the
U.S.
During the First Gulf War, the Iraqi air
force sought refuge in Iran but
was seized by the Iranians.
It is quite possible that after Tora Bora,
the top Al-Qaida might have
taken refuge in Iran. Or Iran, prompted by the
U.S., might have offered them
refuge, and when they came in, Iran arrested
them.
This reading is supported by occasional top
level American comments which
indicate that Iran might be "harboring" Al-Qaida
leaders. It would appear
that Iran is working with the U.S. and is now
looking for some way of handing
over the Al-Qaida leaders to America's friendly
dictators in such a way that
Iranian-American collusion would not look
credible. Ayman al-Zawahiri has already
been sentenced to death by
Egypt,
Ghaith will
face death in Kuwait and the
Saudis will prove their loyalty by executing
Osama's son.
Some observers say that perhaps OSAMA TOO
IS BEING HELD BY IRAN. The
problem Khatami etc are facing is: How to get rid
of him without isolating
themselves from the Muslim world.
And Allah knows best.
