Tehran, 16 March (AKI) - A high official with Iran's Revolutionary Guard, the Pasdaran, is still missing after three weeks and the central command of the Pasdaran are convinced US forces are detaining him, reports said Friday. Mohammad Mohsen Shirazi, a deputy commander with the Pasdaran's special corps charged with missions outside the country, the Quds Brigade, had allegedly been posted in Iraq on a secret mission. So you're admitting to a act of war? | Unconfirmed reports on 27 February quoted US forces as saying that Shirazi, who is suspected of having aided Shiite insurgents on Iran's behalf, was allegedly arrested in Baghdad in the home of top Shiite politician Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI). So I'm guessing this confirms it, huh? | Washington accuses Iran of arming Shiite insurgents in Iraq who are fighting against US-led foreign troops in Iraq.
