Foehammer’s Anvil

Years ago I stated to several people that I would not be at all surprised to find out that Osama bin Laden is hiding in Iran or Syria or even Europe, and not hiding in a cave somewhere along the Pakistani border as we are so often lead to believe by Western governments. Well, it seems I’m not alone in my line of thinking. Tim Furnish has this to say at his site Mahdi Watch:

I have repeatedly argued that Usamah bin Ladin is likely in Iran, rather than in Afghanistan or the Afghan-Pakistani border region, contrary to the conventional wisdom among government officials and analysts. Circumstantial evidence supporting my thesis has come recently from Bin Ladin’s former bodyguard, Nasser al-Bahri, in a recent interview with al-Arabiya TV:

Interviewer: “Do you think there is any coordination between the [Al-Qaeda] organization and Iran?”

Nasser Al-Bahri: “There is coordination on the basis of joint interests.”

Interviewer: “In what way?”

Nasser Al-Bahri: “For example, there is a common enemy - the U.S. - and the Iranians, for your information, know that the [American] strike in inevitable. Therefore, they have to take advantage of all those available on the scene, including the Al-Qaeda organization.”

Interviewer: “So the way you see it, the Al-Qaeda organization can cooperate with the Iranians against America?”

Nasser Al-Bahri: “It can cooperate with the Iranians but it won’t operate under the Iranians. But there is no problem with regard to cooperation.”

Do you still need more reasons to start dropping missiles and bombs on Iran? I suppose we could just wait until they nuke us…
