| [Al Arabiya Latest] The United Arab Emirates on Friday denied the claims made in some Iranian media reports that Abdul Malik Rigi the leader of Junallah rebel group, was arrested in Iran after his entry to Dubai, the official WAM reported. A senior official at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said dismissed the reports as "inaccurate and lacking credibility." "The man, whose name appears in the visa shown by the media, had never entered the country. He made a two-hour stop-over in Dubai as he arrived from Kabul en route to Kyrgyzstan, without using the entry permit," Sultan al-Ali, Director of Media Affairs at the Ministry said, as quoted by WAM. |
