Memri : Iraqi Sunnis Claim Documents Reveal Pre 9/11 Iran/Al Qaida Contacts
2006-11-07
Sunni Islamists Websites in Iraq Claim Iranian Top-Secret Document Reveals Iran/Al-Qaeda Contacts Months Before 9/11

In early October 2006, Sunni Islamist websites affiliated with the jihad groups in Iraq posted what they claimed was a top-secret Iranian document. The document, dated May 2001, indicates contacts between top Al-Qaeda figures and the highest echelons of the Iranian intelligence apparatus, which is part of the office of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and can be viewed at the end of this document. [1]

Evidence of Iran/Al-Qaeda cooperation had already been allegedly exposed in 2003 by the daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat and by Voice of America in interviews with an officer in Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Hamid Reza Zakeri, who defected to the West.

The publication of the document at this time may be part of the mounting tension between Sunni Islamists and Shi'ites in Iraq.

The following are excerpts from the document and the interviews:

#6  warns that utmost caution must be taken in maintaining ties with Al-Qaeda, since such ties, if revealed, could have "irreversible negative consequences" for Iran.

It's high time to put in place those "irreversible negative consequences". Iran is the spider at the center of one of terrorism's biggest webs. (Saudi Arabia is at the other one's center.)

we had models of the [WTC] two towers, the White House, the Pentagon, and the CIA building at Langley.

This cannot possibly be mere coincidence. If true, it is the smoking gun of foreknowledge and solid proof of Iran's complicity in 9-11. They ought to be nuked for it but simply bombing them back to the stone age will have to suffice.

Bush didn't sell Iraq as such but that is what it is a strategic choice of battle field in our WOT that by nessecity at some point will go through Tehran. Bush couldn't sell gold coins for free so that really doesn't suprise me in the least. The guy has the right idea and some balls but 0 ability to talk and rally the people.

This is becoming evermore apparent. Woebetide the republicans today if this represents the pivot point of America's decision about who leads this nation. Iran's potential complicity in 9-11 should have been trumpeted all across this nation once their pursuit of nuclear weapons became an issue. Had this been done, there would be much less opposition to bouncing the rubble that was once Iran.

If we had hit Iran first think about that. We would advance from were? Kuwait into Iran? Leaving Kuwait as our staging area to push into Iran with a very well known hostile Iraq at our rear flank in position to cut our supply base lines at the most opportune time? Not to mention the Sunni/Shia would be as one. Or hell say old Saddam only used that temporary weakness to hit the Kurds and Syria/Hezbollah hit Isreal would Iraq not join in against US?

Its called strategic position. We hit Saddam the weak link in the chain by doing that we split thier line Syria,Hezbollah/Iran and gave US a staging area Iraq to hit either one Syria or Iran from. Iraq has a huge border with large air bases that are already secured now and garanteed our use in a war for now anyway. Iraq was the choice of battle field in WW2 we didn't hit Vichy France N Africa aka Algeria for the hell of it we knew that that we were our weakest at the intitial invasion and staging. To land like in Normandy with German forces thier to meet US we went for the weak point and hit vichy France Algeria. That move saved thousands from needless death.

Bush didn't sell Iraq as such but that is what it is a strategic choice of battle field in our WOT that by nessecity at some point will go through Tehran. Bush couldn't sell gold coins for free so that really doesn't suprise me in the least. The guy has the right idea and some balls but 0 ability to talk and rally the people.

#3  I wished Bush had targeted Iran instead of Iraq because imo they are the biggest regional threat and by taking them out you take out Syria,Hizbullah and possibly Hamas!!!!

#2  And feminist groups in the US would never support an Islamofascist regime over our President.

#1  But, but, AlQ is Sunni and Iran is Shia and the two would NEVER cooperate!!!!

At least that was what I was told.

That's why AlQ would NEVER have any contact with Saddam cause he was secular and not a Wahabbi nut job.

That's why Stalin would NEVER make a deal with Hit......... oh, never mind.
