Comments on Iran al Qaeda potential connection

By Walid Phares

In three interviews on MSNBC today, I have discussed the potential connection between al Qaeda and the Iranian regime. The analysis was prompted by articles in the British press claiming that Ahmedinijad has instructed his services to develop an influence inside al Qaeda through the latter's members present in Iran since 2001, including Bin Laden's sons and Sayf al Adl, one of its military commanders. Also, a comment about Indonesia's Islamist protests against President Bush's visit. Watch at http://www.terrorfreeoil.org/videos/WP111906.php
