Iran: Arrest Of A Terrorist -- Frontline
THE arrest under dramatic circumstances of Abdolmalek Rigi, the head of the Jundallah terrorist group, in the last week of February is being viewed as a remarkable success of the Iranian security services. Rigi was the most wanted man as far as the Iranian authorities were concerned. According to them, the plane in which he was travelling from Kyrgyzstan to Dubai was forced to land in the Persian Gulf city of Bandar Abbas, when it was in Iranian air space.
Iran’s Interior Minister Heydar Moslehi said that 24 hours before his arrest, Rigi was at the Manas air base near Kyrgyzstan’s capital, Bishkek. The military base has been leased to the United States. The Minister said that Rigi was in possession of an Afghan passport, which the American authorities had helped him procure. According to him, Rigi admitted to his extensive contacts with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Israeli secret service, the Mossad.
