“Al Qaeda is a kind of CIA Arab legion created during the Soviet presence in Afghanistan,” believes author Webster Tarpley.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused the West of being behind the bombings which killed leaders of the Revolutionary Guard. Many people say the allegations are shocking.

The group that claimed responsibility for the attacks is a Sunni separatist group called Jundallah, or Soldiers of God. Reports say they have links to Al Qaeda. How in the world could the US be linked to them? Tarpley doesn’t regard it confusing.

“Al Qaeda itself is a kind of CIA Arab legion created during the Soviet presence in Afghanistan,” he said. “It is an open secret to any regional expert: the Jundallah is controlled and funded by the US and the British.”
