Then just wipe Al-Qaim off the map and be done with it.

In addition to its regional bases, Zarqawi's group has a specially designated media department. Baziyani claims that a man named Hassan Ibrahim heads this department, along with lieutenants Khadi Hassan and "Adil," who were responsible for taping and releasing the May 11 beheading of Berg.

Specially designated media department....CBS and Dan Rather? Nightline and Ted Koppel? MSNBC and Chris Matthews? ABC and Peter Jennings?

"Baziyani explained to his interrogators that the Zarqawi network received a great deal of assistance from Iran. One Tawhid and Jihad militant, Othman, was reportedly responsible for transferring former Ansar al Islam fighters and other jihadis back and forth from Iran to Baghdad once the U.S. occupation was underway. In other words, Iran has been involved in supplying fighters to tangle with U.S. soldiers. This should come as no surprise, given the 9/11 Commission's recent report that Iran was a transit state for 9/11 plotters.

Looking back, Sunni-Shia enmity has never been a concern for Iran when it comes to providing logistics to al Qaeda, or even supporting Sunni groups such as Hamas in the West Bank and Gaza. Iran, it is also worth noting, provided assistance to the Sunni and Kurdish Ansar al Islam on the eve of the 2003 U.S. invasion. Tehran allowed Ansar fighters to cross the border to escape the U.S. assault. According to several Ansar prisoners, Iran allowed fighters to remain there, and then later helped them back into Iraq to join the insurgency."

Getting the media geek would probably provide significant information about several of the cells. It would also hurt the group considerably as a terrorist tactic doesn't work well without media access. Just a thought to someone reading this that might be able to do something about it.

Great read; thanks for posting.

Syria and Iran. These are two of the current motherlodes for formal state support of terrorist activities. Always have been.

A third is Saudi Arabia.
