As the Free Beacon reported, this is troubling news:

The Iranian government released five top members of al Qaeda this year in a prisoner swap, one of whom served as the group’s interim leader after the death of Osama bin Laden, according to a U.S. official.

 

The man, Saif al-Adel, has a spot on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list and has been designated with a $5 million bounty.
