Pakistan has released Reigi, Iran alleges

TEHRAN: The deputy head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards charged on Friday that Pakistan arrested and later released Jundallah leader Abdolmalek Reigi a few days before the group claimed a suicide bombing in Iran.

“We have precise information about the movement and places where terrorists are hiding,” an Iranian news agency quoted Brigadier General Hossein Salami of the Revolutionary Guards as saying.

“On September 26, Reigi was arrested in one of the streets of Quetta but after an hour he was released following the intervention of the intelligence service of our neighbouring country,” Salami said. Quetta borders Iran’s Sistan-Baluchestan province where the Jundallah is active. Some 42 people, including 15 Guards members, died in the October 18 bombing in the Sistan-Baluchestan town of Pisheen. “How is it possible that this guy can move freely (unless he is) under the protection of the intelligence services?” the Guards number two said. afp
