WikiLeaks Reports Bolster Suspicion of Iranian Ties to Extremists
-Siobhan Gorman & Jay Solomon

Cooperation among Iran, al-Qaeda and other Sunni extremist groups is more extensive than previously known, according to details buried in the WikiLeaks military intelligence documents.

The documents detail Iran's 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 documents give new evidence of direct contacts between Iranian officials and the Taliban's and al-Qaeda's senior leadership.
