Israeli agents assassinated Al Qaeda's No. 2 official in a shooting in Tehran three months ago, eliminating a mastermind behind the deadly 1998 attacks on American embassies in Africa.

Intelligence officials confirmed to The New York Times that two Israeli agents were acting at the behest of the U.S. when they shot Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah from a motorcycle on Aug. 7, the anniversary of the embassy bombings. His daughter Miriam, the widow of Osama bin Laden's son Hamza bin Laden, was also killed.

Was it this one? Washington Times 2016:

Al Qaeda's Iran Connection

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Yes, this is the exact article I saw. One of the few at that time which mentioned Iran acting as a conveyor belt for Al Qaeda men and supplies throughout Asia.

Thanks for finding it.

Ah, of course! That cowardly SOB must be hiding a mile underground. I’d REALLY love us to take him out, in any way possible.

For years, many Republicans and conservatives have charged that President Barack Obama was shielding embarrassing intelligence and policy details about Iran in order to support the nuclear deal reached last year. With Donald Trump’s upset victory, the party of Lincoln will have an opportunity to declassify and disclose this information. While no decisions have been made, two early picks to Trump’s cabinet suggest this is going to happen. Let’s start with retired general Michael Flynn, the next president’s choice to be national security adviser. Flynn served for two years as Obama’s director of the Defense Intelligence Agency from 2012 to...

Democrats really don’t want to talk about that, nor the connections of John Kerry to Krasniqi of the Albanian KLA group which is affiliated with Iran and alQaeda, even when the Democrats took on the KLA as our “ally.”

Any chance the Israelis could deal with OUR politicians here.

I’ll clap...

Perfect. I think all people who commit treason and/or sedition against our USA ought to have the Israeli treatment.

I would not only clap but dance a jig on my RA feet with my MS body and not worry about the AI. Thrilled I would be!!!

If I thought the MOSSAD was after me I’d eat my Glock just to save family members from collateral damage. BTW, I LOVE their work.

That was a State Dept notion called “the Concept,’ that Shia and Sunni so hated the other they would never cooperate. That notion has been disproven as much as another stupid Foggy Bottom idea, that if you have 3 cups of tea with an Afghan, you had a friend for life.

“Israeli agents were acting at the behest of the U.S.”

somebody should be shot for that statement.

[mabarker1]

somebody should be shot for that statement.

I nominate "plugz" and toss in pelouzy with a side of upchucky as a bonus.

They did that to get more President Trump haters and terrorscum torqued up.

Do you remember the “lively” discussions a couple of decades ago that Iran could never have assisted Al Qaeda because the terrorists were Sunni and Iran is Shia?

Usually the truth comes out, eventually.

That's the thing though: while Shi'ites and Sunnis do hate each other, they'll work together to fight non-Muslims. And if there's just one of those sects, they'll be infighting amongst them. It's just how Islam is.
