Iran Shuns Blair and Welcomes Al-Qaeda

If true, this is quite interesting, as it might explain where some of the high level Al-Qaeda operatives from Afghanistan have been moving to… Gee, do you think this is going to put a damper on Iran’s attempt to encourage American tourism?

Report: Iran seeking al-Qaida alliance

Iran is trying to form an unholy alliance with al-Qaida by grooming a new generation of leaders to take over for Osama bin Laden, The Daily Telegraph revealed on Tuesday, as Western intelligence officials said the Iranians were determined to take advantage of bin Laden’s declining health to promote senior officials known to be friendly to Teheran.

The revelation will deal a major blow to Tony Blair’s hopes of establishing a “new partnership” with Teheran.

According to the Telegraph, British intelligence officials have been most alarmed by reports from Iran that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was trying to persuade al-Qaida to promote a pro-Iranian activist to a senior position within its leadership.

The Iranians want Saif al-Adel, a 46-year-old former colonel in Egypt’s special forces, to be the organization’s number three.

Al-Adel was formerly bin Laden’s head of security, and was named on the FBI’s 22 most wanted list after September 11 for his alleged involvement in terror attacks against US targets in Somalia and Africa in the 1990s. He has been living in a Revolutionary Guard guesthouse in Teheran since fleeing from Afghanistan in late 2001.
