CrowBat...back to our JaN discussion........could this be the inherent key....Iranian ties into JaN via AQ?????
Could the protective hand of the IRGC/Khamenei be over them and not so much the Russians?????

Sayf al-Adel was also recently freed by #Iran >> Iran’s Partnership with al-Qaeda and Unanswered Questions
And if Sayf al-Adel has now made his way into Syria, no surprise: al-Qaeda has been operating networks feeding Nusra from Iran for years.
There are a number of comments indicating he is indeed in Syria with JaN.
Sayf al-Adel worked out the plan for the formation of a jihadist statelet with Abu Musab az-Zarqawi in 2002. In #Iran.
