Isn't Al-qaeda a radical sunni organization? Are the hamas not shias?

Thanks Steve, I was getting hamas and hezbollah confused. So it is hezbolla that is gaining support from Iran.

Hamas is sunni too, Hezbalah is the Shiite terrorist force. Osama has already praised Hamas and their armed conflict against Israel.

Both are shia. Hezbolla is Shia and getting aid from Iran which is Sunni.

They have a saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend and my friend today will be my enemy tomorrow. Even if they hate each other it is in their custom to team up against common foes. Both hate us and Israel. In fact even if they don't fight side by side they will give money and arms to one another over there.

To defeat their common enemies - Israel and the US.
