UBL and al-Zawahiri seen in IRAN...(?)

#1 Postby streetsoldier » Sat Dec 27, 2003 9:02 am

This from FoxNews Foreign Affairs correspondent Mansoor Ijaz; "credible" intelligence from an eyewitness places Usama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in a village near Tehran, used by the "Revolutionary Guard" as a barracks-staging area.

According to this source, both have shaved their heads, trimmed their beards and are no longer wearing traditional robes (as they are always shown in videotapes).

Ijaz further says that "rogue elements" in Iran, mainly hard-line ayatollahs, may be responsible for sheltering them; the Iranian government may be unaware of their presence.

Your take on all this?

I read a few weeks ago the he was in Iran as well. So now that Fox is reporting it maybe there is something to it. OBL could be making his move to the US mainland for his final stand. Some of the pictures I see are implying this.
