Iran arrests 130 al-Qaeda suspects
2003-12-12
Interesting if this is true or more of the same song and dance that we’ve seen for the last several months ...
Iran has arrested 130 suspected members of the al-Qaeda network and is ready to extradite some of them, President Mohammad Khatami said. "Those who have committed crimes in Iran will be judged in Iran and the others will be extradited to their country of origin," he said through an interpreter during a news conference. "There is no place for al-Qaeda, no place for any terrorist, for those who act against peace in the world," he added. Khatami said al-Qaeda was "very hostile" to the Iranian regime.

#4  Ah, the Black Hats have been on another hiring expedition to PakiWakiLand for cannon fodder. Pay 'em $5 to agree to be "arrested", make big splash with gullible Western press, then "deport" them back and give 'em their $5 completion bonus upon their exit from the Welcome Home! party debriefing by ISI.
