Al Qaeda in Iraq is supported primarily through its networks in eastern Syria. Last year.. Sheikh Issa al Masri is thought to have left North Waziristan and... paired up with a senior al Qaeda operative instrumental in reviving al Qaeda in Iraq's network in eastern Syria and directing terror operations in Iraq. Sheikh Issa is believed protected by the Mukhabarat, Syria's secret intelligence service.
