Source reveals research included high-value targets inside U.S.
Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s Quds Forces, ordered reconnaissance and intelligence gathering on various events and public gatherings in the United States years ago, culminating in the bombings at the Boston Marathon one week ago, WND has learned.
According to a source within Iran’s intelligence services, the Islamic regime’s Quds Forces, a special unit of the Revolutionary Guards in charge of extraterritorial operations, have done extensive planning on gatherings, events and high-value targets in the United States for some time, but for two years focused on events such as the Boston Marathon.
The source had earlier provided information that tied the Islamic regime to the Boston attack and pointed to the collaboration of the regime’s Quds Forces with the Lebanese terrorist group Hezbollah and elements of al-Qaida with links to an operational center in South Asia. He said that under Quds Force guidance, Hezbollah recruited sympathizers through collaborators connected to South Asia for terrorist activities in the U.S.
Another source in December told WND that the Quds Forces had drawn up plans for terrorist attacks in the U.S. starting within six months and that an operational team was in the United States to prepare for the attacks. He also said then that suicide bombers and potential terrorists were ready to attack Canada and European countries, including France and England.
The plan was to be automatically launched if America did not accept Iran’s nuclear program, if sanctions increased or a military confrontation took place. The regime felt it must act because current sanctions, which have already devastated Iran’s economy, could spark civilian rioting.

The Iranian surrogates provide at least two degrees of separation for conducting an asymmetrical war. By the time this permeates the leftist wacko ideology controlled mind asymmetrical war is reduced to crime.
Iran and Saudi Arabia/GCC are mortal enemies.
Sucker ;).
You understand muslims about as well as you understand Martians.
Me too! I take news from WND with a grain of salt, but just because its in WND does not mean it is not true. They have been out front on a number of stories, I always look for a reliable second source on a WND story and often I find one.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

If I remember right, a while back, there was a major meeting between Muslims somewhere in the ME. It was Sunni and Shiites coming together in ways to advance the caliphate.
Here it is
Like Churchill said about Russia, the key to understanding Iranian behavior is national interest. When in conflict, national interest and national survival trump ideology. Iran has not survived for fifteen hundred years by risking national survival for the benefit of Sunnis.
They’ve been doing this forever.
Muslims kill each other quite happily, in fact, they cannot stop.
But they unite against the infidel.
You are mistaking Persia for Iran.
Not even close.
Less than a hundred years ago, the Arabs joined forces with the British infidels to destroy the Ottoman caliphate.
Oh, of course there’s nothing saying muslims can’t have temporary allies. That’s established MO. Even there you’ll see an undercurrent of deception.
The end result, though, is always the same.
You didn’t discuss politics on this thread.

Troll Alert!
