I can't read Arabic, but I know people who do ...

Keep in mind that al-Sharq al-Awsat originally published the story stating that Saif al-Adel and Saad bin Laden had fled Iran after the Riyadh bombings, when in fact they're holed up in that old hunting lodge that is now serving as a base for the IRGC. This is likely more of the same disinformation, but it does help us to clarify that our boy Suleiman is indeed in Iran, making it the first time we've had a fix on his location since he left Afghanistan.

The Iranians are predictably denying the whole thing ever took place, which probably means that he is there and under the protection of the IRGC, but they aren't going to even consider turning him over until the US dismantles MEK and turns over their leaders, thereby ending any kind of intelligence we are likely to obtain on the Iranian nuclear program. As the US is unlikely to haggle with Khamenei, that would mean that al-Qaeda, at least for the time being, has a safe haven in Iran.

That's IF we don't send in any special ops. Or the British. Or the Australians. Wanna bet?
