This is interesting, and troubling. Interesting because al Qaeda and the Mullahs in Iran have differing views of Islam. Troublng for obvious reasons.
The United States has intercepted communications strongly suggesting that a small cell of leaders of Al Qaeda in Iran directed last week's terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia, and the United States is sending a strong protest to the Tehran government, according to senior Bush administration officials.

Although I am somewhat optimistic that internal change may take place in Iran before anything like that would have to happen.
