"Iran frees bin Laden son: newspaper"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Aug 2, 2006 — BERLIN (Reuters) - Iran has freed a son of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from house arrest, a German newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Die Welt said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard released Saad bin Laden on July 28 with the aim of sending him to the Syria-Lebanon border. It linked the reported move to the outbreak of war between Israel and Lebanese-based Hizbollah.
"From the Lebanese border, he has the task of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight together with Hizbollah," Die Welt said, quoting intelligence information.
"Apparently Tehran is counting on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using bin Laden's help," it added in a preview of a report to appear in its Thursday edition.
Western intelligence sources have long suspected that Iran is holding a number of al Qaeda figures, possibly including Saad bin Laden and Saif al-Adel, the network's security chief."

OPINION - RUMOR: I thought I read somewhere that Saad is a weaker version of UBL.

Makes one wonder if Saad is wearing a burqa and coming with the women.
Makes one wonder if his dad is wearing barqas these days, too.
Anyway, updates always appreciated.
