9 Iranian infiltrators detained
2005-03-20
Police have arrested nine of the 18 Iranians said to have infiltrated into the country. The men were allegedly dumped off a beach in Shuaiba after sailing aboard a dhow, reports Al-Anba daily. A security source said, some Shuaiba Port employees who saw the men swimming ashore informed the port authorities and the port management called the police. Police are looking for the remaining infiltrators. Police are also looking for 15 other Iranians said to have sneaked into the country in a similar manner over the last week. In yet another incident, police are looking for an Iranian man, who slipped through the Shuwaikh Port immigration without stamping his passport.

#2  employees who saw the men swimming ashore -Sounds like illegals (economic refugees). Maybe ethnic Arabs from Khuzestan looking for work. This is happening on a larger scale with Iranian Kurds. Iraq already a more attractive place than Iran.

No doubt the MMs have many teams at work.
