Iran Says Saudi Intelligence Ordered Embassy Bombing in Lebanon
Iran insists that the deadly terrorist bombing of its embassy on November 19 was ordered by Saudi intelligence boss Prince Bandar bin Sultan.
The Iranian news channel, Alalam, made the claim on Thursday, citing unnamed sources in Lebanon. The sources said Majed al-Majed, the Saudi ringleader of the Abdullah Azzam Brigades, an al-Qaeda connected terrorist group, took his orders from Prince Bandar.
Bandar, who considers himself an American Hamiltonian conservative, has been dubbed “Bandar Bush” due to his close relationship with former President George W. Bush and the neocons.
On December 2, Hezbollah Secretary General Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah accused the Saudis of masterminding the bombing. He also said Saudi intelligence runs the Abdullah Azzam Brigades.
Al-Majed was arrested by Lebanese security forces on Wednesday at a hospital in Beirut. It is said he was there receiving treatment for wounds he sustained while fighting with mercenaries in Syria.
According to Alalam, Majed al-Majed lived in the Ayn al-Halwa camp, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, prior to traveling to Syria to work with Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the boss of al-Nusra Front. In August it was reported that al-Jolani met with his Saudi handlers and the CIA in Amman, Jordan. Alalam reported that two deputies of former U.S. Ambassador Stephen Ford were also present. Saudi deputy minister of defense Prince Salman bin Sultan participated on behalf of his brother Bandar Bin Sultan, according to the report.
In October it was reported that the CIA is training mercenaries in Jordan as part of an ongoing plan to topple the Syrian government. The Washington post report said the CIA is “ramping up and expanding its effort” because “it was clear that the opposition was losing, and not only losing tactically but on a more strategic level.”
In June, the Los Angeles Times reported that CIA operatives and U.S. special operations troops have secretly trained Syrian rebels with anti-tank and antiaircraft weapons since late last year, months before Obama issued plans to arm them directly, U.S. officials and rebel commanders told the newspaper.
Alalam reports the weapons include Russian-designed 14.5-millimeter anti-tank rifles, anti-tank missiles, and 23-millimeter anti-aircraft weapons.
In December, Infowars.com reported that terrorist bombings in the Russian city of Volgograd which killed at least 31 people followed a threat by Saudi Arabia to attack Russia using Chechen terrorists if Moscow did not withdraw its support for President al-Assad in Syria. The threat was made during a closed-door meeting between Prince Bandar and Putin at the beginning of August.

I suggest that Russia did the bombing and make it look like Saudi Arabia did it. Just like Russia assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists that they had trained in the first place (taking back what they gave) and make it look like Israel and USA did it. Those Russians are always up to something!!

Add Volgograd/Stalingrad to the list, as Bandar openly threatened Putin with terrorist attacks if he would not stop supporting Assad. All the signs are that SA ventures to turn the entire Middle-East in a jihadi war zone in an attempt to create a fundamentalist Khalifate. And the greatest suckers of them all, the Israelis, actually support this lunacy, which can only lead to their own demise. Palestine has always been a province of a Khalifate and it will be again.

And the result of these revalations?
Oil (and Heating Oil, btw) drop $5.
How much longer can traders ignore an ongoing proxy/sectarian war in Syria? Spilling over into Iraq and Lebanon.
Four of the main contenders determined to fight to the last Syrian
include Saudi Arabia and fellow OPEC members Iran and Iran.
Russia, while not an OPEC member, is in this mess up to her mascara.
Science fiction writers that may have topped this cluster…. are all dead.
One hundred years ago the world was gearing up for “a war to end all wars”
Three years later, 1917, all the participants wanted out but had already
spent so much blood, almost bankrupted
Europe, it seemed to late to stop
killing.
Such in the situation in oil exporting state, Syria.
Of course the Syrian conflict is by No means the only oil war to flare this past week. Ever oil consuming nation
on the planet is rushing diplomats into South Sudan. With no infrastructure
to destroy, both sides are pitting tribe against tribe effectively lowering
population imbalance.
Contrast S.Sudan with a war in DRC (Democratic Republic Congo) ongoing
for years, hundreds of thousands dead,
millions homeless. With No Oil at stake,
Westerners simply can’t get their collective heads together. Pray some mineral will be found before DRC runs out of cheap labor.
Excuse the cynicism.
The Mideast has more plots and subplots than the Library of Congress.
Israel, never one to waste a crisis, in
what can only be described as the most Unholy Alliance of this century, is partnering with Saudi Arabia to attack
Iran. I ask you, what could go wrong?
One hundred years later. “When will we ever Learn?”

The Saudi’s are indeed desperate and want to use US/Israeli/French/UK/Western power (as long as it still exists) to connect SA to Turkey and get rid of Shi’ite influence between Turkey and SA. SA could not care less about the West or Israel, it is entirely focused on Iran, that got an enormous boost from the 2003 strategic disaster that was Iraq.

This just in:
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/isis-in-irak-und-syrien-bauen-die-extremisten-am-gottesstaat-a-941782.html
There is heavy fighting going on near Falludja by a group called ISIS (Islamic State Iraq Syria). They are fighting to establish an ‘Emirate’ and their methods are brutal. It has nothing to do with Iraq or Syria. The north and north-east of Syria is already in their hands. And in this way Turkey is already connected to Saudi-Arabia over land.
Meanwhile the article reports that Obama does not have a clue of who to support.
In den USA werden erste Stimmen laut, die fordern, man solle lieber wieder mit Assad zusammenarbeiten gegen die Extremisten
In the US there are now voices advocating cooperating with Assad again. Maybe Obama can organize a summit with Putin for this purpose.lol
