Tehran Says Foiled Al Qaeda Attacks in Iran
Sun August 17, 2003 04:55 AM ET
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has foiled a number of attacks which al Qaeda had been planning to carry out inside the Islamic Republic, the official IRNA news agency quoted a senior Iranian official as saying on Sunday.
"Their (al Qaeda's) plans for a wide range of terrorist acts inside Iran were neutralized by our intelligence organizations," IRNA quoted Hassan Rohani, secretary-general of the Supreme National Security Council, as saying.
Rohani gave no details of the planned attacks or whether any al Qaeda members linked to them were arrested.
Iran says it has arrested a number of al Qaeda members in recent months, including some senior figures in Osama bin Laden's organization, blamed for the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States and other "terrorist" attacks.

Weer eens bewijs dat Al-Qa'ida eerder voor de Amerikanen werken dan voor moslims. Ze creeeren keer en keer opnieuw problemen waar Amerika ze nodig heeft. Eerst zorgde een terreur aanval van Al-Qa'ida ervoor dat er een pretext werd geschapen om Afghanistan en Iraq aan te vallen. En nu wordt Al-Qa'ida gebruikt door de VS om Iran te naaien.
