Al-Qaeda vs. Iran?
News accounts are showing that a recently released audio tape from al-Qaeda #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri includes aggressive language against Iran. It appears as-Zawahiri is finally attempting to expoit the growing Sunni-Shiite divide. This could be very important. In the past, it has seemed there was what almost seemed a tactical relationship between Iran and al-Qaeda. While there was no clear evidence of joint operations, there was no obvious acrimony from bin Laden or Zawahiri. That this is happening now raises interesting questions.
