Azerbaijan: Journalist Arrested Over Article On Iran
2007-06-04
(AKI) - An Azeri journalist who had written an article on potential targets in Azerbaijan which Iran could choose to strike has been arrested. Einollah Fatollahov, the editor in chief of Realti Azerbaijan newspaper, wrote a story on the possibility that Tehran could target Azerbaijan, a close ally of Washington, in retaliation to a US attack against Iranian nuclear installations. He was detained Friday on terrorism charges for his story.

Among the potential targets listed by the journalist in his article is an oil pipeline connecting Baku oil fields to the Turkish port of Jihan, on the Black Sea. Relations between Baku and Tehran have been extremely cool for years although they have improved since current president Ilham Aliev, who succeeded his father Haydar, stepped into power in 2003 as head of the former Soviet Union republic.

He's a perfect candidate to be a writer for the NY Slimes! He will get paid better and nobody will do anything meaningful about his treason.
