    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?????

    There is in fact some similarities between AQs jihadist view of revolutionary Islam and the "revolutionary Islam" preached and written about by Khomeini that both Shia and Sunni's can relate to.

    Iran instrumentalizes al-Qaeda by facilitating travel of AQ members to #Syria -> weakening moderates

    In 2011, Treasury reported Iran-Qaeda "secret deal".
    In 2014, Treasury added these details: http://bit.ly/1QaIhQ4

    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.
