#1 "Canât get much higher a link than al-Zawahiri unless you have a ouija board."

#2 Is Turkey going to tighten up that border with Iran? Earlier stories pointed out that it was effectively wide open. Now that Iran is "holding" AlQ types and Turkey just felt the effects of having a "good neighbor" policy with the Black Hats - will they get a clue?

#3 Additional from AP: On Monday, a Moroccan source told The Associated Press in Rabat that a senior al-Qaida operative suspected of ordering a deadly terrorist attack in Casablanca earlier this year may also have been behind bombings in Turkey.
Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, whom the CIA has described as a close associate of bin Laden, is believed to have played a role in attacks in Istanbul, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Al-Zarqawi was identified by Moroccan authorities in July as the mastermind of a wave of suicide bombings that killed 33 bystanders and 12 suicide bombers in Casablanca in May.

#4 At a certain point the international community will tire of having AQ operatives fleeing to Syria and planning operations from Iran. Call us when you decide that enough is enough.
