#2 Very, very interesting. Will Iran be next on our list of "regimes in need of an ass-kicking?" The mullahs better hope they can get their Islamic Bomb put together quick (if it isn't already).

#3 Erst, danke Wahrdeutscherverbundeter (or however one translates TGA).

Second, if this story pans out, look for the media to use it to further the "Bush knew!" and "Iraq was the wrong target" arguments.

#4 The international media hasn't yet seized the thing. It's dynamite. If the court now convicts Mzoudi that means that the court finds the Iranian link credible.

I might add that German intelligence isn't easily bluffed with Iranians, they know the country damn well, maybe better than the CIA. So watch this!

But should the court find that this potato is too hot, expect Mzoudi to be on the first plane out to Morocco. And guess who will have the flight number and exact arrival time in Casablanca?

I bet you guys figure out the rest, right?

#6 I think we should go after the terrorist regime of Israel first and give them some serious beatings.

And why would we believe him?

#8 An Iranian defector told an Arabic newspaper last year that Al Qaeda came to them requesting help with an 'important mission' in America, but he says that Qaeda was turned down.
The translation was posted here last year.

#9 Thanks, TGA. Drudge had a wire service report on 9/12/01 about an Iranian prisoner in a German jail who had been begging his jailers for several days prior to 9/11 to allow him to talk to the CIA, FBI, etc, regarding an imminent attack on the US. I wonder if that case has anything to do with this?

#10 I don't think so. At least this guy claims to actually have spoken to U.S. authorities BEFORE 9/11 but was laughed off.

Germany has very good intelligence on Iran. While I don't know how credible the source is I think this is not something to be shrugged off. I guess the German BKA (and the BND) are fully aware of the political dynamite. And someone high up must have okayed the "leak". It's a tangled web we weave...

#11 A report in the Sun Herald now claims it's Hamid Reza Zakeri (the one Paul Moloney mentions). But German sources don't give a name.
