By the way, it's questionable that Iran can be considered as the source of most al-Qaeda operatives, most of whom can largely be considered "non-state operatives" anyway.

For instance, in the most recent attack al-Qaeda was implicated rather than the government of Iran, which seems reasonable enough:

Grandpa h.
Al Qaeda = Sunni Radicals that hate Shias also
Iran = Non-arab Shias

I don't see any plausible connection. In Iraq Iran was (is?) helping the Shia militants wage war against the Sunni militants (and Al Qaeda)! The connection is not plausible!
