It is believed Israel acted at the behest of the United States, which had been tracking al-Masri and other al-Qaeda \u201cprisoners\u201d living in Iran for years.<\/p>\n<p>Much was made of Tehran\u2019s \u201ccooperation\u201d in holding al-Qaeda operatives under \u201chouse arrest\u201d by Iran\u2019s apologists on the American left. In truth, Iran was giving them safe haven, allowing them to plot attacks on the U.S. while living in luxury. Al-Masri was said to have been living in an \u201cupscale neighborhood\u201d of Tehran with his daughter, widow of the son of Osama bin Laden. She died with her father on the streets of Tehran.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Iran seemed surprised a high ranking member of al-Qaeda was residing in their capitol and promptly rejected any such obviously ridiculous claims. No, really.
