MENL: "Iran Sends Bin Laden's Son to Lebanon"

Speaking of interesting alliances:
Iran was said to have sent the son of Al Qaida chief Osama Bin Laden to Lebanon.

Islamic sources said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has released Bin Laden's son, Saad. The sources said IRGC released the 27-year-old Saad and sent him to organize cells in Lebanon.

"We have been hearing reports that Saad is no longer under house arrest and is now in Syria waiting to enter Lebanon," a source said.

The UAE-based Elaph news agency reported that Iran sent Saad to the Syrian-Lebanese border to build cells for Hizbullah in Palestinian refugee camps. Elaph, regarded as an authoritative source, said the move marked renewed cooperation between Al Qaida and Iran.
