Tehran, Jan. 13 - An Iranian agent was arrested in Kuwait in connection with the latest spate of Al-Qaeda-related attacks in the Middle East.

Sawa Radio reported that the unnamed individual was arrested by Kuwaiti security forces after recent intelligence implicated him as a cell in communication with the Al-Qaeda network with prior information on the attacks in Saudi Arabia.

Three days ago, two Kuwaiti security forces were killed and two more were injured following street-battles with suspected Al-Qaeda operatives, according to the Kuwaiti Interior Ministry.

Since the incident, Kuwaiti intelligence and security forces have been on heightened alert, cracking down on agents working for or conspiring with the Al-Qaeda network.

How much more evidence do we need. I think this is just one of several things, that prove a link between the Iran government and Al Qaeda.

"Beginning in 1992, an agreement was reached. In return for Zawahiri’s efforts in the movement led by Iran, the Iranians agreed to provide a safe harbor and training camp for about 800 of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorists in Mashhad. Iranian proxy forces like Hezbollah, and the Pasdaran division of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps based in Sudan would assist in virtually all areas of Zawahiri’s contributions to the movement.

I think to some extent we know that terrorists organizations to a point are working together via the concept "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" - (which brings Al Qeade and Iran closer) -

However, there are also some significant differences between Al Qeade and Iran (particularly with UBL and Iranian Mullah's).

It would truly be terrible should a nuclear warhead find itself loaded onto a UAV, and said UAV despite all programming to the contrary should fly over to Tehran and unload. Those machines take on a life of themselves sometimes.
