Top al-Qaida Harbored in Iran
Source: New attacks ordered from there
By Knut Royce
WASHINGTON BUREAU
May 17, 2003
Washington - The United States has developed intelligence indicating that top al-Qaida leaders operating inside Iran directed Monday's bombing attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and have ordered a terrorist strike in East Africa, according to counterterrorism sources.
Intelligence officials say that top operational leader Saif al-Adil, who has been Osama bin Laden's security chief and is hiding in Iran, is apparently under the protection of the country's Revolutionary Guards.
Al-Adil, they said, directed a senior operative, Ali Abed al Rahman al Faq'asi al Ghamdi, also known as Aby Bakr al Azdi, to carry out the Riyadh suicide bombings of three housing compounds, which killed 34, including eight Americans and nine attackers.
An al-Adil lieutenant, Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, also known as Abu Mohamed al-Masri, and also operating out of Iran, directed an al-Qaida cell in East Africa to carry out attacks there, intelligence officials said.
The State Department this week issued an advisory urging Americans to avoid traveling to East Africa, and in particular Kenya. The British government has banned flights in and out of Kenya. One of the concerns is that the terrorists would try to shoot down an airliner.
A source who received a classified briefing on Friday said the Bush administration now is in a quandary because it can't ignore the intelligence but at the same time wants to continue pressing the Iranians to stay out of Iraq.
"The subject of Iran harboring senior al-Qaida people has suddenly been pushed to the top of the agenda" in the Bush administration, he said.
The CIA declined to comment on what role al-Qaida figures inside Iran may have had in recent bombings or in anticipated attacks or to identify who the operatives are. "I don't have anything to say about this," said spokesman Mark Mansfield.
An administration official close to the CIA confirmed, however, that al-Ghamdi, a Saudi native, appears to have played a "very big role" in the Riyadh attacks.
Saudi officials have named another al-Qaida operative, Khalid Jehani, as a leader of the cell that carried out the attacks. Both Jehani and al-Ghamdi fled Afghanistan when the United States bombed the Tora Bora mountains in December 2001.
There were some indications this week that the United States may be ready to confront Iran over its hosting of al-Qaida leaders. On Wednesday, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice told reporters that the administration was "concerned about al-Qaida operating in Iran." But she made no mention of any link between Iran and the Saudi attacks.
The following day, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, "We know there is senior al-Qaida in Iran." He, too, did not elaborate.
The Iranian foreign ministry on Friday denied that Iran is harboring al-Qaida operatives. U.S. intelligence sources said that other top al-Qaida leaders believed to be inside Iran include bin Laden's heir apparent, his son Saad, as well as Abu Hafs the Mauritanian.
