Iran arrests 5 al-Qaeda members in Kurdistan
2004-12-06
Between this and Mustafa Hamza (a lot bigger fish than the above article makes him out to be) getting jugged, this could be the beginning of a trend on the part of the mad mullahs. But as long as Saad, Saif, and Sully are being held, I wouldn't bet on it ...
Iran Daily reported of the arrest of a number of Al-Qaeda members in Kurdistan, western Iran. Kurdistan Judiciary Head, Mohammad Mehdi Khamesi said that currently the detainees are in the hands of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps adding: "The present situation in Iraq has had a negative impact on Iran's border regions including Kurdistan." Saying that currently there are five Al-Qaeda detainees in Kurdistan, Khamesi noted: "According to the ruling of the Supreme National Security Council, the non-Iranian Al-Qaeda detainees' cases will be dealt with in Tehran by special judges and if the detainees are arrested in provinces outside Tehran their cases will be referred to the capital."
