#1 This sounds to me like Iran is the approved mouthpiece for AQ. They probably shouted down the hall to get this information--a veiled threat for Pak to back off.

#2 Alternatively Iran could be keeping tabs on Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which is known for both attacking Shias (and Iranians), and have also spearheaded most of the recent terrorist attacks within Pakistan.

#3 Capt America, seriously, you may have read one conspiracy theory too many... Iran tolerates AQ when its goals coincide with their goals, but if AQ crosses line, they are regarded as pests and no conscientious reflections about curbing the pest problem bother Ayatollahs.

In fact, they are just infidels to each other. Whatever deity is responsible for this status quo has my deserved appreciation.
