Iran Released 5 Senior Members of al-Qaeda in Prisoner Swap with Yemeni al-Qaeda Branch

by Spencer Irvine on

As the Free Beacon reported, this is troubling news:

The Iranian government released five top members of al Qaeda this year in a prisoner swap, one of whom served as the group’s interim leader after the death of Osama bin Laden, according to a U.S. official.

The man, Saif al-Adel, has a spot on theFBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list and has been designated with a $5 million bounty.
