How did Al Qaeda grow from a guerilla-insurgent force initially based in South Asia in to a global terrorist organization capable of striking worldwide? Satan in Flames explores how - in less than four years after initially meeting with representatives of Iran in Sudan - Al Qaeda would be capable of mounting terror attacks based on a template initially perfected by Iran's notorious terrorist group, Lebanese Hezbollah.Using open sources fully available to anyone, authors Dr. Abdalla Altayer and James S Moore demonstrate Tehran's direct involvement in every Al Qaeda attack throughout the 1990s beginning in Islamabad, Riyadh, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Aden, and September 11. The role Iran played in aiding Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab Al Zarqawi is discussed in detail, along with the strategic importance that Tehran's long-standing ally, Syria, played in the violent and terror-plagued Iraqi insurgency and subsequent Civil War. Satan in Flames also covers the Al Qaeda Iran network as it exists to this very day including listing the key individuals who have resided inside Iran since the mid-2000s and in some cases earlier.
