Iran is providing refuge to around 25 leading members of the Al-Qaeda terror group including three of Osama bin Laden’s sons, a German magazine reported.
Cicero magazine said Saad, Mohammed and Othman bin Laden as well as other Al-Qaeda members from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, north Africa and Europe were living in and around Tehran under the protection of Iran’s Republican Guard.
The magazine quoted a “top-ranking Western secret service agent” as saying the Al-Qaeda members were free to move around.
“They are not under arrest or house arrest,” the unnamed source told the respected monthly Cicero. “They can do what they like.”
