Source reveals research included high-value targets inside U.S.
Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Forces, ordered reconnaissance and intelligence gathering on various events and public gatherings in the United States years ago, culminating in the bombings at the Boston Marathon one week ago, WND has learned.
According to a source within Iran’s intelligence services, the Islamic regime’s Quds Forces, a special unit of the Revolutionary Guards in charge of extraterritorial operations, have done extensive planning on gatherings, events and high-value targets in the United States for some time, but for two years focused on events such as the Boston Marathon.
The source had earlier provided information that tied the Islamic regime to the Boston attack and pointed to the collaboration of the regime’s Quds Forces with the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and elements of al-Qaida with links to an operational center in South Asia. He said that under Quds Force guidance, Hezbollah recruited sympathizers through collaborators connected to South Asia for terrorist activities in the U.S.
Another source in December told WND that the Quds Forces had drawn up plans for terrorist attacks in the U.S. starting within six months and that an operational team was in the United States to prepare for the attacks. He also said then that suicide bombers and potential terrorists were ready to attack Canada and European countries, including France and England.
The plan was to be automatically launched if America did not accept Iran’s nuclear program, if sanctions increased or a military confrontation took place. The regime felt it must act because current sanctions, which have already devastated Iran’s economy, could spark civilian rioting.
Another worry for the regime, the December source said, was that the push to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad would be a big blow to the Islamic regime and...

We should return the favor.
The ability of people to believe a serial liar like WND/Khalili is much bigger than I want to believe.
Iran, posibly - I have myself posted a story on Iran’s relation to Chechen terrorists - but then again Iran is not Saudi Arabia, and isn’t that nice?
And obviously, the jihadist now in the hospital obtained his US citizenship fraudulently. He never intended any allegiance whatsoever to America or our constitution. It should be revoked and the enemy combatant should stand before a military court and then briefly on the hangman’s platform.
Islamic sympathizer B. Hussein Obama is an absolute disgrace to America.
Just follow the money....
Shiite Iran has been working with Sunni AQ - and Saudi Arabia - for many, many years.
Where do you think Zawahiri and Gadahn have been living?
In Iran. Being waited on by the Revolutionary Guards.
Iran?? Is this story suppose to get people away from the Saudi connection?
...to Wing Nut Daily making ad money from pagehits from interesting, but fabricated, stories.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list

Could well be. Do you have any links?
Oh but they acted alone! The death cult had nothing to do with it! It was random violence. They didn’t fit in. They had no friends. Someone said towelhead.
Hey it’s on the internet...must be true < /sarcasm>
Why are you bashing conservative sources.
Put up your proof to back your objections instead of calling names like socialists do.
Come on - be a grown up.

I don't say towel head; I do, however, say Islam isn't a religion, but an anti-religion. It's an imperialist totalitarian ideology that masquerades as a religion. It's based on hatred and moral exceptionalism, and deserves to be excluded from any list of religions.
Sure.
Reads like something from Debka.
I missed the part about obtaining his citizenship fraudulently. Please explain.
Quite a few, actually. Mesta was the first one I know to spot the RevGuards around Zawahiri way back and mentioned it in a report to Admiral Lowell Jacoby in 2005.
Since then, it has been more or less common knowledge, for example that Laden’s sons and grandchildren were being run by Iran with an eye to taking over AQ in the future, and that the upper echelon AQ was safehoused in Iran for long periods of time.
On the blog, we have some nifty footage of these critters being displayed by the Iranians, and run through military training.
