The last planned attack by Osama Bin Laden’s testament to the faithful:

“Hit the railway lines in any way.”

The links between the terrorists and Iran WASHINGTON – Two aspects to be highlighted in the foiled attack in Canada; the first concerns the plan. The two terrorists arrested appear to have taken instructions from the Will & Testament of Osama bin Laden. Among the papers seized from the hideout in Abbottabad was a suggestion from the founder of Al Qaeda: “Hit the railway lines in any way possible, even cause the derailment of a train along a bridge.” ‘Artisan’  type projects to compensate for the lack of networks, but creating, however, a high number of casualties. So if the terrorists had bombs they could use them on trains in Madrid and the London Underground. Otherwise, they had to resort to sabotage.

THE SHADOW OF TEHRAN – The second aspect relates to Iran. For the Canadian police the two terrorists received orders from al-Qaeda leaders active in the country of the mullahs. It may surprise you but it is not like that. After the fall of the Taliban, a good number of jihadist “leaders” have taken refuge in Iran where the Pasdaran have placed them under control in special residences.

In theory, they could do little but more than once links have emerged between these representatives and accomplices around the Middle East. Not just contacts, but an axis aimed at terrorist acts.

Several investigations after attacks in Morocco and Saudi Arabia, have confirmed this. The components Salafist (Sunni) are at war against the Shiites backed by Iran. Just think of the Al Qaeda massacres in Iraq, the fight against the rebels in Syria pro-Iranian Hezbollah, the feud in Pakistan. Deep reciprocal hatred. But Tehran  “accommodating” a share of militants is helpful,  using them in any operations against the common enemy – the United States – or barters with Arab governments. Everything has a price and a handful of al-Qaeda, especially if important, are worth it.
