Reports from Iran say European diplomats there confirm some of their citizens have been arrested for infiltrating Iran from Pakistan. Iran says it has detained 150 foreigners who have entered Iran illegally in recent weeks at the border town of Mir-Javeh. Iranian state radio said most were Arabs, but that there were also French, British, Belgian, Spanish and Dutch passport-holders among them. Most of the suspects were picked up during raids on smugglers' hideouts in the eastern border province of Sistan Baluchistan. They are believed to include low-ranking Taleban members or foreigners who went to Afghanistan to fight alongside the Taleban.
Yeah. But they're not there. Iran said so. And there aren't any al-Qaeda or Taliban among them. |
