Tehran Sets Up Terror Cells in Africa
(Telegraph-UK) Con Coughlin - Iran is setting up a network of terror cells in Africa to attack U.S. and other Western targets, according to Western security officials. The new terror network has been established on the orders of Qassem Suleimani, head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, which is responsible for overseas operations. The Iranian cells are said to be active in Sudan, Chad, Ghana, Niger, Gambia and the Central African Republic. Some 300 militants have undergone rigorous training at Iranian-run camps in Syria and Iraq.
