#1 It is possible that the Black Turbans would like to unload Al-Qaida leadership, as their continuing presence in Iran threatens American intervention. The Shiite Iranians cannot manage the Sunni Bin Ladens as well as they do Hezbollah. The Saudia financed Al-Qaida is therefore a loose cannon that would invite a direct and strong American response against Teheran in the event of another 9/11 attack.
