JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 27 -- Two figures who have assumed critical roles in the al Qaeda hierarchy in recent months, including one reported dead by the Pentagon, are being sheltered in Iran along with dozens of other al Qaeda fighters in hotels and guesthouses in the border cities of Mashhad and Zabol, according to Arab intelligence sources.

I have always held the belief that Iran was more of a threat than Iraq. If the info here is true ( which I have no doubt that it isn't) wouldn't you say Instead of concentrating on Iraq we better direct our att: to Iran.. Comments anyone ?

I'm getting really sick of this. We should just bombing government headquarters of any government who is sheltering terrorists and providing them aid and comfort.
The problem is, they'll deny it and start whining to the UN. Maybe the solution is to just start ignoring the whines. I don't see any other way.

The title says IRAQ but the article says IRAN...?? I am assuming the title is incorrect.

Iran is about to explode and may fall in upon itself soon.

Your headline is misleading, this article refers to Iran, not Iraq.

Also, you have posted the entire article, which we are prohibited from doing with articles from the Washington Post.

This entire report is based upon "Arab sources." Perhaps when they actually provide something more than chatter from their prolificly lying lips, I'll pay them some attention. [yawn]
