"Lost tribe of Israel" coming "home" (Puh-leaze!)
The abduction of an Iranian attaché in Pakistan can be interpreted as the onset of war between Iran and al-Qaeda, says a senior militant.
"This is payback time for Iran and for its active involvement in destabilizing the Taliban government in Afghanistan and for facilitating the US-led invasion on Afghanistan through pro-Iranian Afghan groups."
The Islamic Republic was a leading opponent of the Taliban when the radical regime ruled Afghanistan (1996-2001). They came close to war in 1998 after the Taliban killed 9 Iranian diplomats in the central Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources report that Barack Obama, European and Russian heads of state in Washington for the G20 conference over the weekend were briefed about a probable early al Qaeda attack.
Obama and his team have been advised that a new al Qaeda strike is highly probable in the US or against a key US target in Europe, North Africa or the Middle East.
Al Qaeda's Yemen base issued a Directive to All Fighters in Arabia on Nov. 9 presaging a major operation in the US that will "change the political and economic world" and be "far bigger than 9/11."
The notice said "the operation is very near" and "precise instructions were in the hands of "the fighters, who are already on their way to America" armed with bin Laden's orders.
The pretext offered for the attack is the rejection by the US and Europe of al Qaeda's 4-year old truce offer whose original pre-condition was the withdrawal of their armies from Iraq and Afghanistan.
The day after Obama's election, al Qaeda issued a little-noticed statement declaring Obama a murtad -- an apostate whose betrayal of Islam is judged the most heinous.
Believers have the duty to execute a murtad -- unlike other non-believers whose death sentence is optional.
