NEWS
The 
U.S. 
and IRAN are trying to make a deal 
following the revelation that 
IRAN is holding a top Al-Qaida leader Saif 
al-Adel. Reports say that Iran wants 
the U.S. to turn over MKO opponents of Iran who 
are under U.S. control after 
the U.S. occupation of 
Iraq.  
[After disclosure 
Iran is denying the claim.]
IRAN is also reportedly talking to KUWAIT to hand 
over Abu Ghaith Kuwaiti, 
another top al-Qaida leader.
AYMAN al-ZAWAHIRI is probably not in IRANIAN 
HANDS. Al-Arabia TV in Dubai has 
aired an audio tape from top Islamic leader Ayman 
al-Zawahiri, second only to 
Osama bin Laden, which indicates that the 
Egyptian 
fighter is not only alive 
and free but is responding to the fate of Islamic 
prisoners being held at 
Guantanamo Bay.
Thus the Egyptians being held by Iran must 
be of junior rank. Iran is 
reportedly talking with Hosni 
Mubarak 
of Egypt to 
send the Egyptians held in 
Iran to Egypt for execution there.
