NCRI – A key suspect in the Yemen mail bombs plot has had close relationships with the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guards, United Press International reported on Wednesday.
Saif al-Adel, a former Egyptian army Special Forces colonel and onetime al-Qaida military chief, was reported in October to be in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan near the Afghanistan border, the news agency said.
“Adel, aka Mohammed Ibrahim Makkawi, fled to Iran from Afghanistan with other al-Qaida cadres when the Americans invaded in October 2001.”
“U.S. officials insist these operatives remained active and had close relationships with commanders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, particularly its clandestine branch, the al-Quds Force,” UPI added.
