U.S. ACTIONS ON HOSTAGE TAKING BLASTED

Iran's Foreign Minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a ceremony to welcome the freed diplomats, said in Tehran on Sunday that Iran has the right to pursue the case of the five released Iranian diplomats who had been taken hostage by US occupation troops in Iraq in 2007, and will act accordingly.

According to IRIB, Mottaki said the US hostage-taking was against all international laws and conventions and is deplored by the world public opinion as inhuman. He was hopeful the UN and other relevant international bodies would take up the case, considering the fact that the measures taken by Iran through its embassies and consulate offices in Iraq have always been based on a policy to maintain peace, stability, and progress in that country.

The five, Baqer Qabishavi, Majid Qaemi Heidari, and Abbas Hatami-Kasavand were abducted from Iran's Erbil consulate. The other two Iranian diplomats abducted by the US occupation forces were Majid Daghari in Baghdad, and Mahmoud Farhadi in Suleimanieh.
