The suspect in 1996 ‘Khobar Towers’ bombing after flying out of Iran!!

there should be no deal with the Iranian Mullahs

According to an intelligence source, Ahmed al-Mughassi, leader of the Hizballah al-Hejaz, sought for 20 years for the 1996 Khobar Towers attack that killed 19 US service personnel and wounded 500 other, was not actually captured in Beirut as first reported, but it appears that Saudi fighter jets had intercepted his private plane over the Gulf after it took off from Iran and was forced it to land in Saudi Arabia, the source reveals.
There are no details on how the Saudis found out about the flight. 
Saudi paper Asharq Alawsat, which first reported the development, said he was arrested in Beirut and transferred to Riyadh.
The Saudi Interior Ministry had no immediate comment and U.S. official on the ground did not publicly discuss the matter.
The June 25, 1996, bombing at Khobar Towers, a military housing complex, was the deadliest terror attack targeting U.S. forces since the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marines’ barracks in Beirut that killed 241 American servicemen.
