Photograph Shows Rigi At a U.S. Base in Afghanistan, 24 Hours Earlier.

 

Tehran, February 24, 2010 (Hamsayeh.Net) - Western analysts express astonishment at the high level of competency demonstrated by the Iranian security forces to capture Jundullah leader Abdulmalik Rigi yesterday at the southern port city of Bandar Abbas.

 

Iran analyst at Al Jazeera TV network, Mohamad Sadegh al-Husseini explained that Tehran was able to pull out Rigi from NATO base inside Afghanistan in mere five months. He said Iran also cut off Mossad’s connections within the Arab countries particularly in Dubai in a rather effective way. Ironically, the United States and NATO after years of searching for Osama Bin Laden haven’t yet been able to fulfill their initial objective.

 

Rigi was arrested yesterday morning as his plane left the Dubai Airport to Kyrgyzstan. Once the aircraft entered the Iranian airspace the ground controller told the pilot to land at the Bandar Abbas Airport, but the pilot initially refused to follow the order. Soon several Iranian fighter planes directed the passenger plane to land at the designated airport. Rigi was promptly arrested and taken into custody.

 

According to reports, Rigi spent the last 24 hours before his arrest at a US headquarter in Afghanistan. Iranian officials showed a photograph of him near the base. Iranian officials say they have plenty of evidence to prove that CIA and Mossad supported Rigi and that most of his terrorist actions were ordered directly by foreign entities.
