Evidence shows Rigi was supported by US, Britain: FM Spokesman.

 

Tehran, March 10, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mihmanparast in his weekly press briefing pointed to all the evidence and documents that proof the leader of the group Jundullah received extensive supports from the US and Britain, as reported by IRNA.

 

The spokesman said the Western powers assumed that it would be impossible to capture the leader of Jundullah. Following the arrest of Abdulmalik Rigi, many aspects of his group's links with foreign entities were revealed to the Iranian security personnel. During one of Rigi’s own confessions he said he was going to meet a high ranking US official at a   leased US airbase in Kyrgyzstan.

 

According to Rigi, before meeting the high ranking US official he received assurances from Pentagon officials that his group will receive all types of supports from the US for causing disturbances in Iran.

The FM spokesman also commented on the assassination of a top Hamas official in a Dubai hotel on Jan. 19 by the Israeli Mossad. Mihmanparast said ‘the move that certain Zionist agents carrying European and Australian passports could actually assassinate an individual in a third country is turning into a major disgrace for the Zionists and their Western supporters.’
