The brief report on Iraqiya television yesterday identified the suspect as Mohammed Rabei, also known as Abu Dhar, and said he was No 4 in the al-Qaida. It gave no further details. Meanwhile, a senior Iraqi security officer said the Iraqi government has been receiving information that al-Zarqawi may have moved to neighboring Iran after hot pursuit by US and Iraqi forces in western Iraq.Since Zarqawi has declared jihad on Shias in Iraq, it would be a little difficult to believe the Mullahs of Iran had welcomed him into that country. If he is there, it is probably without the consent of the Iranian regime. Then again, common enemies often lead to strange alliances.The officer said Iraq's intelligence services have received information that the Jordanian-born terrorist was spotted a few weeks ago in areas close to the Himreen Mountains, 120 kilometres south of Kirkuk and near the border with Iran. "We are dealing with this information carefully but intelligence services are working on the assumption that he has been planning to move to Iran after being besieged in the areas where he was operating inside Iraq," said the officer, who declined to be identified further because of the sensitivity of the investigation.

He would have gone to Syria... or even better... his home country Jordan where he no doubt still has friends.

The pressure against the Mullah Manhattan project is building. Any action taken against that project by the West will trigger an Iranian response IN Iraq. And who better to direct that response than the Z-Man himself.
So of course Z-Man is in Iran right now. He is involved in some high level discussions about their options, about their tactics, targets, cooperation with Al Sadr's boys in the Shiite south. And then again, it's time for him to have a sit down with Osama himself, who is, rest assured, comfortable in a condo outside Tehran.
Don't buy any of this nonsense that Osama bin dirtball is wandering from cave to cave in the Northwest Frontier, or that he is slipping from mud hut to mud hut in the dead of the night. He's quite comfortable in Iran, with his family, and his many female companions.
