From MEMRI:
AN IRANIAN WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE ASSASSINATION OF AYATOLLAH BAQIR AL HAKIM IN IRAQ AND FLED TO AN EAST EUROPEAN COUNTRY IS SEEKING ASYLUM IN IRAQ OR EUROPE IN EXCHANGE FOR INFORMATION. HE SAID: ’BEFORE ENTERING IRAQ, WE ASSUMED WE WERE GOING TO KILL PAUL BREMER; A COMMANDER OF THE AL-QUDS CORPS BROUGHT US TO A BASE NEAR THE IRAQI BORDER AND TOLD US AL-HAKIM IS A TRAITOR WHO SURRENDERED TO THE AMERICANS.’ (AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT, LONDON, 10/30/03)
In another post I read today, Iran says if the US wants to talk to them, it should stop calling Iran "terrorists".... OK, let’s NOT talk |
