Al-Qaeda's Number Two, Abu Muhammad al-Masri Killed in Iran by Israel
PJ Media ^ | 11/14/2020 | Rick Moran

ction class="post-body">

Al-Qaeda’s second in command, accused of masterminding the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, was gunned down in the streets of Tehran by Israeli intelligence agents, reports the New York Times.

Abu Muhammad al-Masri was killed by two men on motorcycles in Tehran on August 7. It is believed Israel acted at the behest of the United States, which had been tracking al-Masri and other al-Qaeda “prisoners” living in Iran for years.

Much was made of Tehran’s “cooperation” in holding al-Qaeda operatives under “house arrest” by Iran’s apologists on the American left. In truth, Iran was giving them safe haven, allowing them to plot attacks on the U.S. while living in luxury. Al-Masri was said to have been living in an “upscale neighborhood” of Tehran with his daughter, widow of the son of Osama bin Laden. She died with her father on the streets of Tehran.

Reuters:

It was unclear what, if any, role the United States had in the killing of the Egyptian-born militant, the Times said. U.S. authorities had been tracking Masri and other al Qaeda operatives in Iran for years, it said.

Al Qaeda has not announced his death, Iranian officials have covered it up and no government has publicly claimed responsibility, the Times said.

A U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, declined to confirm any details of the Times’ story or say whether there was any U.S. involvement. The White House National Security Council did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Really???

So the Russian Dossier isn’t fiction enough, now we have Israeli’s in Tehran, on a street, gunning folks down.

Think about that one for a moment.

The President does in less than 3 years, what no other President has been able to do or actually try to do in the last 40...Peace in the Middle East.

The President has been starving the mullahs for almost 4 years, cutting off their funds and supplies.

Now, Harris and her running mate have said that they will go back in on the Iran Deal, thus allowing Iran access to funds again.

Now, the media is going to make Israel the bad buy, again, and there goes President Trump’s Peace in the Middle East. Back to war, conflict, proxy wars, annnnndddd
most importantly....never ending supply of money from the military industrial complex, the DOD and contractors all into the pockets of the Left.

Chuckling, I recall reading the sahih hadieths that Jews are behind every trees. Who would of thought Jews would be in the secure capital city of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Too funny.

I hope that unlike the USA, Israel does not have treasonous insiders who leak names to the press.

Listen to yourself the Iranian Islamic fascist have had long ties with Al Qaeda since the very founding of Al Qaeda.
This wasn’t some random JOOOOOOOo CFR Neocon Rothschild false flag operation for endless wars, of Oil and Zionist JOOOOOO expansionism this was an actual hit on real live terrorist jihadists operative.
Secondly what ever lasting peace of the Middle East? For the last year or so especially these last few months the U.S. the Jewish nation along with the SAUDI’s having been waging a covert hybrid stealth war against the Iranians and their proxy surrogates,the Arab nations coming to the feet of the Jewish nation was just for that and also combating against Turkish influence and that of Russia/China too.

Acting on our behest?! Mossad had plenty of reasons of their own to want this POS dead. Maybe we gave them the green light, or helped with some intel. Regardless, the world is a better place without al-Masri.

The last part of Jeremiah 6:14 comes to mind:

“saying Peace, Peace; when there is no Peace.”

First off, you should probably think about taking some classes on grammar, diction and a few other.

Second, the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia can do whatever they want, whenever they want...NOW.

As to it being a hit...sure. Whatever. Good for you.

That isn’t going to be the case if, God Forbid, Harris & Biden actually go to the WH. They’ll going to wrap their Dem arms around the mullah’s and the whole thing starts all over again.

18FEB21 Ali Soufan: Al-Qa`ida’s Soon-To-Be Third Emir? A Profile of Saif al-`Adl

Since 2002 or 2003, Saif had been based in Iran. While there, his status shifted periodically. Sometimes he was detained in prison, sometimes under varying forms of house arrest. Toward the end of 2010, he had been allowed to travel back to Waziristan in northern Pakistan, where al-Qa`ida then had its hub. In May 2011, Saif enjoyed enough liberty to act as interim leader of al-Qa`ida, the organization to which he had given the past 22 years of his life.

With both al-Baghdadi out of the way and so too possibly al-Zawahiri, Saif as emir would enjoy a rare opportunity to attract some former Islamic State members back into al-Qa`ida (although, to be fair, the group’s anti-Shi`a hardliners might be repulsed by Saif’s pragmatic attitude toward his Iranian hosts).

https://ctc.usma.edu/al-qaidas-soon-to-be-third-emir-a-profile-of-saif-al-adl/

Before leaving office, then-Secretary of State Michael Pompeo accused Iran of being the new headquarters of the Al Qaeda organization, based on the presence of some Al Qaeda operatives in Iran.Iran has periodically expelled Al Qaeda figures to blunt similar criticism. Some Al Qaeda members allegedly in Iran are subject to Rewards for Justice by the U.S. Department of State, like, for example, Muhammad Abbatay. Iranian leaders could expel Al Qaeda figures still present in Iran, including high-ranking Al Qaeda figure Saif al-Adel, as a sign that Iran does not support international jihadist terrorist groups.
