Sean-Paul at Agonist reports this email from a reader who says that this Iranian website is reporting the following (Note that the Iranian website is not in English so we have no idea if that's what is really being reported.)

1. The site is in possession of "documents" that prove Berg was a CIA special agent who had initiated widespread contacts with Muslims resident in the US over the past two years, with the aim of penetrating Al-Qaeda.
2. Berg had been very successful in this mission, providing golden opportunities for the CIA and the FBI to deliver severe blows to Al-Qaeda.
3. With start of the Iraq war and Al-Qaeda's activities there, Berg was sent to Iraq under cover of a telecommunication businessman.

4. Based on his past contacts, Berg was able to make contact with a number of Al-Qaeda members in Iraq. His arrest and imprisonment in Iraq was also a CIA ploy to put him in touch with a number of Al-Qaeda members in prison.
5. Following his release, and making use of new contacts he had made in prison, Berg was able to make contacts with key Al-Qaeda leadership circles and its central ops under the leadership of Al-Zarqawi. This was to the point of identifying several key members of the organization
6. At the same time, through help received from an Arab Intelligence Service, Al-Zarqawi was able to uncover Berg as a CIA agent. He subsequently arranged for his murder.
