So its possible Islamic groups with different ideologies work together for a common cause, eh? That is why Def Sec Rummy is fuming that al-Qaedeans hid out in Iran.

By the way evidence exists that Iran and al-Qaeda worked as allied past and present.

From the Asia Times: Al-Qaeda primed for wider struggle By Syed Saleem Shahzad December 8, 2001

In April 1995, it becomes known that Iran has delivered a large supply of weapons to Bosnian Muslims, mostly via Croatia, allowing them to continue their struggle against Bosnian Serbs.

In February 1998, the Islamic Front against Jews and Christians is formed in Afghanistan by bin Laden, combining Egypt's Gamaa Islamiyya, Al-Jihad and three smaller groups. Iranian, Palestinian and Egyptian movements began meetings from 1998 in Khartoum. The CIA suspects Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin of attending the meetings.

Soon afterward, Mohammed al Masari gives a press conference in London at which he shows a video of bin Laden saying that the attack was justified. Saudi Arabia protests and in January 1996 then British premier John Major has Masari deported. On May 4, the perpetrators of the Saudi attack are beheaded. Then on June 25, 19 Americans are killed by a bomb explosion at a US base near Dhahran. Bin Laden is interviewed in Afghanistan and says that there will be more attacks.

It was at this time that bin Laden twists his stance and courts Iran to some extent. On June 29, there was a meeting in Tehran, attended by the most important terrorist organizations of the Middle East, organized by Iran's secret service. After this meeting the Lebanese Hezbollah becomes a part of Al-Qaeda and bin Laden injects large amounts of cash into the group.

London-based Syrian Sheik Omar Bakri is leader of the worldwide Islamic fundamentalist organization Al-Muhajiroun, which has connections to bin Laden. Bin Laden also promised the Iranian Revolutionary Guard about $60 million to train Egyptians who would be based in Afghanistan and then transferred to fight in Bosnia and Kosovo alongside the Muslims. This was how bin Laden's network expanded to Europe.

On August 4, 1998 Albania deports, with the help of the CIA, Egyptian jihad members to Egypt, where they are wanted in connection with the Luxor incident. Albania's Minister of Internal Affairs Paskal Milo declares that former president Sali Berisha allowed the fundamentalist terrorists to settle in Albania. Three days later, there are bomb explosions in Nairobi and Dar-es-Salaam, which kill 257 people.

When President Tudjman of Croatia approached Ambassador Galbraith in Zagreb in April 1994 to elicit U.S. views on allowing third-country arms shipments to Bosnia via Croatia, we determined that a negative response could have led to the collapse of the Federation and a new deterioration of the Bosnian Government's military position. Instead, we decided that the best course was neither to object to nor approve of arms transfers to Bosnia through Croatia.

Clinton's State Dept blames that dead Hitler lover dead President Tudjman of Croatia for inviting al-Qaida/Iran into Bosnia!! You keep posting Clinton made you do it! With allies like these who needs enemies!
