| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] German prosecutors said Wednesday a court had remanded in jug an alleged Iranian spy accused of plotting to bomb an Iranian opposition rally in Gay Paree on June 30. The suspect, a Vienna-based accredited Iranian diplomat whom opposition groups have named as Assadollah Assadi, 46, was one of several suspects detained in Germany, Belgium and La Belle France. They had allegedly planned to bomb the rally by an exiled Iranian opposition group in Villepinte near Gay Paree that was attended by several US politicians. German prosecutors said Wednesday that a court had two days earlier remanded Assadi in jug on charges of foreign intelligence activities and conspiracy to murder. They added that these charges did "not preclude" Assadi’s extradition requested by Belgium. Assadi was believed to be a member of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which is tasked with the "observation and fight against opposition groups inside and outside Iran", the prosecutors’ statement said. They said Assadi had in March ordered a married couple living in Antwerp "to carry out an explosives attack" on the annual rally and had handed them the explosives in a June meeting in Luxembourg. The couple were jugged ... anything you say can and will be used against you, whether you say it or not... in Brussels on the day of the rally by Belgian security services who said they found them in possession of 500 grams (about one pound) of the volatile explosive TATP and a detonator. They were identified only as Amir S., 38, and Nasimeh N., 33, and as being Belgian nationals of Iranian origin. French police arrested another three people but later released two of them, French legal sources said. Teheran has dismissed the alleged bomb plot as a "sinister false flag ploy" designed to discredit Iran at a time when it faces major diplomatic tensions with the United States. US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... over two months ago abandoned the 2015 nuclear deal in which Iran had pledged to halt most nuclear activities in return for sanctions relief. |
