The Financial Times reported on Thursday that western officials said
evidence that Iranian territory is being used as a base by al-Qaeda to
help in terrorist operations in Iraq and elsewhere is growing.
According to Financial Times the officials said the group's operatives, who link the al-Qaeda leadership in Pakistan with their disciples in Iraq, the Levant and North Africa, move with relative freedom in the country.
The report added, a senior US official said the information had produced different assessments. "The most conservative, cautious intelligence assessment is that the Iranian authorities are turning a blind eye. But there are a lot of doubts about that," he said.
