This goes far beyond provision of weapons and money and includes founding and direction of some terrorist groups which act as covert arms of the intelligence service while providing the sponsoring state with &#8220;plausible deniability&#8221;.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;One happy by-product of the current American-led war on the Islamic State is that some people are now more willing to state that Iran does in fact possess ties to various terrorist groups, among them AQ and the Islamic State. Yet it\u2019s still a struggle to get many people to see what\u2019s obvious here.<\/p>\n<p>Part of this willful disbelief is due to simple ignorance. Most \u201cterrorism experts,\u201d and virtually all of them possessing academic credentials, have exactly zero personal interaction with operational counterterrorism; therefore they are ignorant of the fact that many intelligence services \u2014 and all of them in the Middle East \u2014 play a wide range of operational games with terrorist groups, AQ very much included, encompassing everything from placing agents inside terror cells to actually creating terrorist fronts like Tawhid-Salam&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>The appearance of the Islamic State as a major force in Iraq and Syria, with threats of terrorist attacks on the West, has concentrated minds again to a degree. But unwillingness to ask difficult questions persists in many quarters. Despite the fact that we have more than circumstantial evidence that the Islamic State is being manipulated by Syrian intelligence, and Iran\u2019s too, these notions are dismissed out of hand by too many Westerners who study terrorism. Yet if we want to defeat the Islamic State, it would be wise to actually understand it. That Washington, DC, continues its bipartisan blocking of release of the full 9\/11 Commission Report, which includes troubling details of Saudi misconduct regarding Al-Qa\u2019ida, is not an encouraging sign.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Read more at <a href='http:\/\/20committee.com\/2014\/09\/25\/what-if-everything-you-know-about-terrorism-is-wrong\/?utm_source=dlvr.it&#038;utm_medium=twitter'>What If Everything You Know About Terrorism Is Wrong? | The XX Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great insight into the murky relationship between various government intelligence services and terrorist groups.
