| Debka reports: More than 120 killed in fierce clashes between ethnic Arabs and Iranian security forces in Ahwaz in S. Iranian Khuzestan on Iraqi border. Many protesters arrested. Three-day outbreak sparked by alleged letter by Iranian former vice president Ali Abtahi calling for relocation of non-Arabs to make them majority in oil-rich region. Abtahi denied he was behind letter. For future reference. Now that there has been numerous clashes in the Kurd regions of Iran, now happening in the Arab parts, look to the southeast, Baluchistan, next. In 1973 there was a *bitter* conflict of the Baluchis/Pathans against both Pakistan and Iran. By the time the last pitched battle was fought in 1978 5,000 Baluchi fighters and 3,000 Pakistani soldiers had died. |
