Security forces have detained an American man for illegally entering Iran from Pakistan, state television reported Friday.An Iranian police officer confirmed to The Associated Press the Tuesday arrest of the unidentified American, saying his motives for crossing the border had not been determined. | Up to no good, I'll wager. |
The American was being interrogated, the officer said, speaking on condition of anonymity. | Good thing he's not Canadian, otherwise I'd worry about his falling down. On a club. Repeatedly. |
Iran has tightened security on its eastern border with Pakistan and Afghanistan to prevent infiltration by supporters of the al-Qaida terror group and the former Taliban regime in Afghanistan. State television said the man was Jewish but did not identify him further. | Zionist agent, out to overthrow the government. |
It said he was arrested in Sistan-Baluchestan, a southeastern province that borders Pakistan. | Must be CIA or FBI, they're running Pakistan these days, ya know. |
