NEWS
The U.S. and IRAN are trying to make a deal following the revelation that IRAN is holding a top Al-Qaida leader Saif al-Adel. Reports say that Iran wants the U.S. to turn over MKO opponents of Iran who are under U.S. control after the U.S. occupation of Iraq. [After disclosure Iran is denying the claim.]

IRAN is also reportedly talking to KUWAIT to hand over Abu Ghaith Kuwaiti, another top al-Qaida leader.

AYMAN al-ZAWAHIRI is probably not in IRANIAN HANDS. Al-Arabia TV in Dubai has aired an audio tape from top Islamic leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, second only to Osama bin Laden, which indicates that the Egyptian fighter is not only alive and free but is responding to the fate of Islamic prisoners being held at Guantanamo Bay.

Thus the Egyptians being held by Iran must be of junior rank. Iran is reportedly talking with Hosni Mubarak of Egypt to send the Egyptians held in Iran to Egypt for execution there.
