The country is not supplying al Qaeda with weapons, but the government does not want to distract the group from its objectives in Iraq.

The relationship was said to be born from the Shia Iran’s fear of the terror network’s Sunni extremists.
Updates will be posted as more data flows. (Was there EVER any doubt as to Iran’s involvement, other than from the idiot moonbats?)
