Thread: A few important connections between #Iran and #AlQaeda’s Ayman al-#Zawahiri. Not only does Saif al Adl, a potential Zawahiri successor, reside in #Iran, but Zawahiri’s son-in-law Abd-al Rahman al-Maghrebi also resides in Iran.
Zawahiri had a years-long friendship with the former Commander of #Iran’s IRGC Quds Force, Ahmad Vahidi (a Soleimani predecessor), who helped #AlQaeda leaders find safe harbor in 2001. Vahidi is now Iran’s Interior Minister in the Raisi administration.
From #Iran, Saif al Adl helped relay orders from Ayman al-Zawahiri to Tanzim Qaedat fi al-Jazeeratul Arab (the Al-Qaeda Organization on the Arabian Peninsula) to attack #SaudiArabia.
In a letter by Zawahiri in 2008, he hailed #Iran for its assistance and “vision” to assist #AlQaeda in establishing new bases in #Yemen after abandoning bases in Iraq and Saudi Arabia

Good post.
SO you can imagine my reaction last night when I heard an idiot reporter say that all the people who were involved in 9/11 have either been captured or killed.
