| Jundallah Spokesman: Rigi was Caught in Kandahar |
| 2010-03-09 |
| [Asharq al-Aswat] Baluchi Kamal Narui, spokesman for the armed Sunni Jundallah Organization, which opposes the current Iranian regime, told Asharq Al-Awsat that the organization -- which has been engaged in confrontations to restore the rights of the Sunnis and Baluchi minority for years now -- will soon publish confessions made by an Afghan agent who works for the Mossad who was involved in the arrest of Jundallah leader Abdolmalek Rigi. Speaking to Asharq al-Awsat by phone, Narui stressed that Rigi was arrested at a friend's house in the Afghan City of Kandahar. He dismissed the Iranian version of events, which claims that Rigi was arrested after the plane on which he was traveling to Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan, to meet with American officials, was forced to land at the airport of Bandar-Abbas City. The official spokesman for Jundallah recounted the details of Rigi's arrest. He said that the internal security investigations, which the organization has conducted, showed that Rigi was arrested by US forces. He referred to a clear role by Mossad in this case. |

| #1 My head hurts. How does he get from American custody to the hands of the Iranians? Why would Mossad be involved, let alone telling tales to a member of Jundallah? Why shouldn't we just dismiss this as another fantastically-decorated room somewhere deep inside the Dream Palaces? |
