WASHINGTON — Cooperation among Iran, Al Qaeda and other Sunni extremist groups is more extensive than previously known to the public, according to details buried in the tens of thousands of military intelligence documents released by an independent group Sunday.

U.S. officials and Middle East analysts said some of the most explosive information contained in the WikiLeaks documents detail Iran's alleged ties to the Taliban and Al Qaeda, and the facilitating role Tehran may have played in providing arms from sources as varied as North Korea and Algeria.

The officials have for years received reports of Iran smuggling arms to the Taliban. The WikiLeaks documents, however, appear to give new evidence of direct contacts between Iranian officials and the Taliban's and Al Qaeda's senior leadership. It also outlines Iran's alleged role in brokering arms deals between North Korea and Pakistan-based militants, particularly militant leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Al Qaeda.

The apparent links are striking because Iran has historically been a foe of the Taliban, who generally view the followers of Shiite Islam — Iran's predominant faith — as heretics.

One of the more remarkable reports describes a November 2005 trip that departed from Iran in which Mr. Hekmatyar, the militant leader, and Osama bin Laden's financial adviser traveled to North Korea to close a deal with the North Korean government to obtain remote-controlled rockets to use against coalition aircraft in Afghanistan.

Several reports describe Iran as a hub of planning activity for attacks on the Afghan government. A May 2006 report describes an al Qaeda–Hekmatyar plot to equip suicide bombers and car bombs to attack Afghan government and international targets—using cars and equipment obtained in Iran and Pakistan.

By April 2007, the reports show what appears to be even closer collaboration. A report that month describes an effort two months earlier in which al Qaeda, "helped by Iran," bought 72 air-to-air missiles from Algeria and hid them in Zahedahan, Iran, in order to later smuggle them into Afghanistan.

I think it is now time that the United States has a couple of 495 Kiloton conversations with Iran and North Korea.

These documents seem to be helping the public realize the kinda crap Iran and N. Korea are pulling and showing that our Government keeps looking the other way.

We should have gone postal in Iran back in 1977 when the whole Hostage Fiasco began. Thank you Peanuts Carter you imbecilic dumbazz! Look at what your legacy of peace has left us!

I think we all knew this information 8 or so years ago when our military kept finding weapons with Iranian manufactures data on the weapons.We all know Iran is supporting anyone who has a beef with the United states and is giving hundreds of millions to the terrorist.World war 3 is going to start sooner or later with Iran,North korea,Venezuela,and probably China getting blown back into the Middle ages.It's just a matter of time.

The first thing President Reagan did was select his top Navy Seal, Commander Richard Marcinko to put together a SEAL Team of the best of the SEALS called Seal Team 6, now called DEVGRU to go in and handle this situation and end the hostage crisis. Reagan handled business.

Now Seal Team 6 is the top counter terrorism unit in the world, and it was developed under and by the order of President Reagan.

They are waging war with the United States by proxy through our enemies. They have been supplying AQ and the Taliban with Weapons, money and other aid. They need to be taken care of now, as well as North Korea.
