Iraq arrests Iranian terrorist leader
 An Iranian national was arrested in Iraq on charges of smuggling foreign fighters and weapons into Iraq, the interim government said Sunday. Jaafar Sadeq Fetteh, also charged with sending Iraqis abroad to receive military training, was arrested near Balad Rose governorate last Thursday, the government said in a statement. It added the 45-year-old Fetteh was the leader of a "big terrorist cell" consisting of 100 persons. The cell members work on smuggling foreign fighters and weapons inside Iraq, as well as sending Iraqis outside the country to receive training to carry out "terrorist attacks" against the Iraqi security forces. The statement claimed that Fetteh admitted having links to the "Iranian intelligence," and that he had attempted to kill an intelligence officer and local dignitaries.Posted by: Dan Darling 2005-02-21 |
