BBC: Al-Qaeda 'dismantled' in Iran
2004-07-19
EFL- Iran says that the WOT is all over. We can all go home now.
Iran says it has located and dismantled all branches of the al-Qaeda network in the country. Intelligence Minister Ali Yunesi said his ministry had stopped al-Qaeda's terrorist acts, state TV reported. However, the broadcast gave no details of the operation and did not say how many people had been detained. Iran has previously denied allegations that it gave sanctuary to al-Qaeda fugitives who escaped the US-led invasion of neighbouring Afghanistan. In January, Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi announced that 12 suspected al-Qaeda members being held in Iran would go on trial, but he did not say when. "We are too buzy with the research involved with the death of the Canadian Journalists. Ah, such a difficult case we have never seen. The process might take two whole days in court."

Haahahahahahahahahaaa, this is about as funny as when Iraqi authorities, in the runup to the war, promised to help the inspectors find their own banned weapons.
