Iran leader tells security forces to maintain internal “order”
2006-03-06
Tehran, Iran, Mar. 06 – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told top commanders of the State Security Forces on Monday that maintaining “order” inside the country was required to display the Islamic Republic’s strength.
Interesting, worried about the people getting out of control, is he?
“Maintaining order inside the country will display the strength of the Islamic Republic”, Khamenei told senior police commanders in Tehran, the state-run news agency ISNA reported. The security forces commanders discussed in the meeting their plans to maintain “national security” over the next 12 months.

Khamenei recently appointed Interior Minister Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi as the Acting Commander in Chief of the State Security Forces giving the radical Shiite cleric with a background in the notorious Intelligence Ministry complete control over the vast police force of the Islamic Republic.

#3  Ahhh, putting the secret religious police gestapo in charge! Brilliant move. This is the type of behavior that has always been the undoing of the the religious-fanatic-theocracy types. If you choose to be in charge of everything, you also get blamed when everything starts to go to hell-in-a-handbasket. Hopefully Khamenei et al are on their collective ways to hell.
