[gilliam]

Iran and al Qaeda’s core leadership under Ayman al Zawahiri have established an “operational relationship” amid fears the terror group is planning a spectacular attack against the West.

People always seem to forget that Iran and al-Qaeda are not really friends.

al-Qaeda is “based” on Sunni Islam.

Iran is based on Shia Islam.

That’s why it’s a much easier connection to make between Iran and Hezbollah (which also is “based” on Shia Islam). This is also why you get al-Qaeda supporting the opposition in Syria, because Syria is majority Sunni with a Shia president.

Still, it could be happening.

I thought the USA was teaming up with Al Qaeda in Syria again like we did in Libya.

Now this is what I’d call a way out conspiracy theory.
Seriously, after Libya and Syria, the US's open support for the MEK, and certain claims made about Fatah Al Islam in Lebanon, I'd have an easier time believing the US is working with Al-Qaeda.
