Middle East intelligence agencies confirm Iranian support for al Qaeda leadership

Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia's intelligence agencies confirm that Iran's Revolutionary Guards are helping al Qaeda.

Saudi Arabia Interior Ministry's counter-terrorist division(headed by general Abdulaziz al Huwairini) along with Jordanian and Egyptian counterparts concluded a long investigation which included confessions from 3 Saudi extremists who were picked up at the Iraq border. The Saudi's have enough evidence to show that the Hamze unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards is protecting nearly 2 dozen of former al Qaeda chiefs, including 3 of bin Laden's sons. Also among them are former Egyptian special forces officer Seif al Adl, Mauritanian terrorist Mahmud ould al Walid, Kuwait cleric Suleiman Abu al Ghaith and al Qaeda's propaganda artist Abu Mohammad al Masri.

Bin Laden and his right-hand man, Ayman al Zawahiri, took refuge in 2003 in the southern part of the Iranian province of Khorasan before moving to a suburb of Quetta in Pakistan. He is now said to be in Waziristan on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Communications were intercepted between the son-in-law of Zawahiri, Abdulrahman al Maghrebi, a Moroccan who took refuge in Zahedan in Iranian Baluchistan, and Midhat Mursi. He was an Egyptian explosives expert and was killed in an American air strike against the village of Damadola in Waziristan on Jan. 20. The Pasdaran general Ahmed Sharifi, who saw to liaison with bin Laden’s men between 1998-2004, was asked in January to take up the same function again.
