Al-Qaeda ringrazia Iran per supporto attacco terroristico ad ambasciata americana

Iran receives al Qaeda praise for role in terrorist attacks
Fresh links between Iran's Revolutionary Guards and al-Qaeda have been uncovered following interception of a letter from the terrorist leadership that hails Tehran's support for a recent attack on the American embassy in Yemen, which killed 16 people.

Delivery of the letter exposed the rising role of Saad bin Laden, son of the al-Qaeda leader, Osama as an intermediary between the organisation and Iran. Saad bin Laden has been living in Iran since the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001, apparently under house arrest. The letter, which was signed by Ayman al-Zawahiri, al-Qaeda's second in command, was written after the American embassy in Yemen was attacked by simultaneous suicide car bombs in September. Western security officials said the missive thanked the leadership of Iran's Revolutionary Guards for providing assistance to al-Qaeda to set up its terrorist network in Yemen, which has suffered ten al-Qaeda-related terror attacks in the past year, including two bomb attacks against the American embassy.

There has been intense speculation about the level of Iranian support for al-Qaeda since the 9/11 Commission report into al-Qaeda's terror attacks against the U.S. in 2001 concluded that Iran had provided safe passage for many of the 9/11 hijackers travelling between Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia prior to the attacks.

Iran: Ahmadinejad Elogia Il Libano Per Resistenza a Israele
(ASCA-AFP 24 nov) - Teheran - Il presidente iraniano Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in un incontro con il presidente del Libano Michel Sleiman, ha lodato la resistenza libanese in azione contro Israele. Lo ha riferito l'agenzia ufficiale iraniana IRNA. Ahmadinejad ha affermato che la guerra del 2006 tra Israele e il gruppo libanese sciita Hezbollah, sostenuto dall'Iran, in cui sono morte piu' di 1.200 persone, ''fa meritare al popolo libanese e alla regione numerosi riconoscimenti. Il Libano ha deluso il nemico e ha mandato in pezzi il mito dell'avversario invincibile''. L'attacco che due anni fa avrebbe dovuto distruggere questo Paese e' diventato il punto di svolta per ricostruire l'identita' e l'unita' del Libano, ha detto. Sleiman, in visita per due giorni a Teheran con altri sei ministri per rafforzare i legami bilaterali, considera ''buoni'' i rapporti con l'Iran a cui si dichiara ''grato per aver sempre contato sull'appoggio del Libano e del suo governo''.

ISLAMABAD (AFP 22 nov) – The alleged Al-Qaeda mastermind of a 2006 transatlantic airplane bombing plot was killed in a US missile attack in northwest Pakistan early Saturday, after spending almost a year on the run. Rashid Rauf died when a missile hit a tribesman's house in the village of Alikhel, part of a border district that is a known stronghold of Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants. Also among the five killed in the early morning incident was Egyptian Abu Zubair al-Misri, another wanted Al-Qaeda operative, a senior Pakistani security official said on condition of anonymity. "The transatlantic bombing plot alleged mastermind Rashid Rauf was killed along with an Egyptian Al-Qaeda operative in the US missile strike in North Waziristan early Saturday," a senior security official told AFP.

German raids on suspected terror cell supporters
BERLIN (AP 22 nov)– Officials say German police carried out raids in three states searching for suspected supporters of a terror cell whose plans to attack U.S. targets in Germany were foiled last year. Federal prosecutors' spokesman Frank Wallenta says police made no arrests during Thursday's raids on the residences of several people suspected of acquiring detonators for three alleged terror plotters. The suspected plotters are now on trial. They are alleged to have operated as a German cell of the radical Islamic Jihad Union. Wallenta declined to say Saturday where the raids had been carried out. Germany's Bild daily says they were in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate and Lower Saxony. (...)

German court OKs release of ex-leftist terrorist
(AP 24 nov) BERLIN – A former top member of the leftist Red Army Faction terrorist group can be released from prison in January after having served the minimum 26 years of a life sentence for multiple murders, a German court ruled Monday. The Red Army Faction, which emerged from German student protests against the Vietnam War, killed 34 people before disbanding in 1998. It subscribed to Marxist-Leninist ideology and sought to overthrow the capitalist West German government and fight perceived U.S. imperialism. The Stuttgart state court ruled that it found no grounds for Christian Klar, 56, to remain behind bars any longer, spokeswoman Josefine Koeblitz said. After his Jan. 3 release he will remain on probation for five years, the court ruled. (...)
