Where in the world is Abu Musab al-Suri?

“Report claims Syrian President released” is simply not the same as “Syrian President released”.

On such tiny details are the webs and fogs of misunderstanding often based.

    I gave WyldDarkHeart some clues on Suri today. In summary it would make perfect sense that he is on the BHO ‘kill list’ and after his release, giving his engineering education and particular affection for dirty bombs, he fled to Iran, where drones would not strike his head.

    Thanks. I’m sorry I didn’t respond sooner —
    .
    My own personal interest in al-Suri has to do with his (Sunni) Mahdist expectations, and I’m not at all sure how they’d be received in Iran, considering the Imamist preoccupations of the Iranian Shi’a and given that he has apparently tended to take sectarian positions in the past:  

    in captured training videotapes, Abu Musab al-Suri, architect of the flat hierarchical structure and “individual terrorism” of al-Qaida’s post-9/11 periphery, spurns any form of cooperation between Shi’a and Sunni, arguing that Shi’a groups like Hizbollah in Lebanon have had a negative influence on the Palestinians.
