This is logical since AQ is Sunni and Iran is Shiite. What a good way to throw people off? It also ties in with Ayman Al-Zawahiri's latest plea to leave the Shiite people alone, and then there is Sunni AQ Khan, from a country that kills Shiites for sport, selling massive nuclear secrets to Iran. What happens to Mr Khan? A slap on the wrist?
Today the Daily Sun Times of Pakistan is reporting that Iran is holing important AQ officials, including but not limited to 3 of UBL's sons.
The Sun Times quotes a German magazine called Cicero as saying UBL's sons in Iran are Mohammed, Othman, and Saad. As for the other AQ officials there, the magazine goes onto say that they are from places like Uzbekistan, EGYPT, N Africa, EUROPE, and Saudi Arabia (ironically enough the Sunni capital of the world).
Allegedly they are all living in and around Teheran and are being protected by Iran's Republican Guard.
Saad Bin Laden is alleged to have played a key role both logistically and financially in several AQ attacks from his base in Iran.
It must be reiterated here that AQ, particularly in Iraq at the moment, is vehemently anti-Shiite.
