    A pointer to a source:
    Mr Soufan is at his most interesting in describing in detail the ambiguous role of Iran in the arrest, and then the release, of senior al-Qaeda figures fleeing Afghanistan—including Hamza bin Laden, Osama’s son—to be used either as leverage or as attack dogs”.
    Taken from a book review, of three books in The Economist; Soufan's being 'Anatomy of Terror: From the Death of Bin Laden to the Rise of the Islamic State'.
