Some attempts at humor, much like North Korean rocket launches, never quite get off the ground.

Iran is Shia, and Al Qaeda is Sunni. While Iran is all for anyone who is fighting the US and the west, they have kept Saad bin Laden under house arrest as a way to maintain influence on Osama as well as Saudi Arabia.
It is speculated that Saad (Obama’s most militant son among many) has actually maintained contact with his dad and is still involved in Al Qaeda to the extent his Iranian ‘handlers’ allow him.

ISFAIK, for many years now there have been a number of terrorism experts who believe that OBL is dead, and that it was his eldest son who makes the audio tape messages.

It’s true that some Bin Ladens are fairly normal and think Osama is crazy. I don’t know about the “friends” part.

This snippet is very strange...why would Iran be AGAINST al-qaida if BOTH of their goals were the same?
To Sunni Moslems Shia are polytheists/infidels/heretics who pervert the true religion revealed by Allah to Mohammad and are masquerading as Moslems and have to be exterminated.

Any cooperation between the two major branches of the Death cult will be short-term and will probably end in one side treacherously sticking a knife in the back of the other. This doesn't mean they can't cooperate in the short-term against common enemies, but don't expect an alliance to last.

""It has long been believed by western media and leaders who know nothing about Islam that Iran has held in custody a number of bin Laden's children since they fled Afghanistan... How Iran and Al Qaida think: "The enemy of my ememy is my friend. When we have killed him, then I will kill my enemy..."

I believe that a few years ago, Clinton let a plane full of bin ladens relatives leave Florida. Correct me if Im wrong.IIRC, the dominant media(and their amigo, Michael Moore) pinned the rose on the Bush Administration for this incident. Later still (IIRC), none other than Ol' Richard Clark claimed credit for getting Binnie's relatives out of the country, when no other civilian aircraft were allowed to fly.

yet NSA and CIA have verified the audio tapes of bin Laden are authentic because of voice stress analysis.You have a link to anything the No Such Agency stated regarding those tapes?
CIA on the other hand, not being a real intelligence producing agency, shoot their mouths off all the time.
