Iran frees bin Laden son--German newspaper
Iran has freed a son of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from house arrest, a German newspaper reported on Wednesday.

Die Welt said the Iranian Revolutionary Guard released Saad bin Laden on July 28 with the aim of sending him to the Syria-Lebanon border. It linked the reported move to the outbreak of war between Israel and Lebanese-based Hizbollah.

"From the Lebanese border, he has the task of building Islamist terror cells and preparing them to fight together with Hizbollah," Die Welt said, quoting intelligence information.

"Apparently Tehran is counting on recruiting Lebanese refugees in Syria for the fight against Israel, using bin Laden's help," it added in a preview of a report to appear in its Thursday edition.

3. The usual PSYOP BS.
Die Welt is a right-wing newspaper. They got this "information" from intelligence sources (without specifying the nationality: could be German, could be Israeli...).
http://www.welt.de/data/2006/08/03/984087.html

Note how they are able to link Sunni al-Qaeda not only to Shiite Iran (supposedly freeing the son of bin Laden), but also to secular Syria where this Sunni extremist is supposed to find recruits among the Shiite refugees (!) of southern Lebanon.

:crazy:

4. They do not need BL's son, if they want to build cells all they
need to do is let Israel continue the war. Like Iraq the Lebanese and other ME people will be waiting in line to join.
