Kharazzi sez all the al-Qaeda inside Iran are still jugged
Several members of the al-Qaeda terrorist network are still in Iranian prisons, Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said today. ââThey are still in Iranian prisons and we are on constant contact with Saudi Arabia in this regard,ââ Kharrazi told reporters. Some of them have already been handed over to their home countries during the last two years. The Iranian minister did not clarify how many of them are still jailed in Iran. ââDespite the will for cooperation, we still put priority on our own national security and decide by ourselves what to do with them,ââ Kharrazi said. Tehran also rejected the possibility that the detained al-Qaeda members would be swapped for Iraq-based members of the Iranian rebel group Peopleâs Mujaheddin (MKO).Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-06-12 |
