Iran: Mossad abducted former Iranian deputy defense minister.(IMRA).A senior Iranian commander says evidence indicates that Alireza Asgari, a former Iranian deputy defense minister, has been kidnapped by the Israeli intelligence service and transferred to Israel.
“We have a lot of evidence proving that members of the Israeli intelligence service (Mossad) have kidnapped Asgari from Turkey and transferred him to Israel,” Iran’s Deputy Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Daqiqi said on Saturday.
Daqiqi made the remarks during a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of Asgari’s abduction.
Asgari mysteriously disappeared in Turkey in 2007. He is widely believed to have been abducted and transferred to Israel through an American military base in Turkey.
In December 2010, the Israeli website, Ynet, said that a prisoner had committed suicide in solitary confinement in Israel's Ayalon Prison.
The Eurasia Review website claimed that a source within the “inner circle” of the Israeli Defense Ministry had identified the prisoner as Asgari and that his death could have been a murder and not suicide.
Following the report Iran called on the United Nations and International Committee of the Red Cross to help determine Asgari’s fate.
Despite Iran’s efforts, Daqiqi said, no new information has been obtained regarding the fate of former Iranian deputy defense minister.Read the full story here.
