Press TV reports: Pakistan, Iran agree on Jundullah’s fate
Tehran says members of the Jundullah terrorist group taken into custody in Pakistan may be extradited to Iran as early as next week.
“We are currently discussing the matter with the Pakistani government and there is a possibility that the terrorists will be turned over to Iran in the coming week,” caretaker Interior Minister, Mehdi Hashemi told reporters on Saturday.
Hashemi added that the two sides had agreed on the fate of the terrorists but had not yet set an exact date for their extradition to Iran.
Jundullah, which operates in Iran’s Sistan-Baluchistan and Pakistan’s Balochistan, has carried out a number of attacks against high profile Iranian targets, especially government and security officials.
The ABC news reported in 2007 that the terrorist cell has been ‘secretly encouraged and advised’ by American officials since 2005.
According to American intelligence sources, the US relationship with Jundullah has been arranged so that Washington provides no funding, which would require an official presidential order, to the group. (The money, no doubt, comes from Saudi Arabia and the guns and training from Israel. VS)
“It is Iran’s official foreign policy to support and empower Shias in any country to any extent which is possible to do and suppress the Iranian Sunnis to any extent which is possible.
As Iran had supported the removal of Sunni Taleban from Afghanistan and Sunni Saddam Hussein from Iraq and the appointment of its close allies in both countries, Iran also supported another Shia leader in Pakistan to win elections.
Although Benazir Bhutto is dead, her husband, Asif Zardari is a Shia. He is the leader of the largest political party in Pakistan who controls the Pakistan government now. Although Asif Zardari is a Baluch but he agreed to transfer a Pakistani Sunni Baluch man to Iran, something that the Sunni Musharraf did not do.
Asif Ali Zardari had to do this favour to Iran in spite of Pakistan’s national interests to compensate the favour that the Iranian leaders did Benazir Bhutto when she returned to Pakistan.
Benazir Bhutto said in a long interview after the explosion in her march to home from Karachi airport that a friendly country gave her necessary information about few sources that intended to assassinate her.
She named the sources as Taleban of Afghanistan, Taleban of Pakistan, Alqaedah and another source which she believed was inside Pakistani government or army. She said that she had been given even the names and telephone numbers of the terrorists who had been assigned to assassinated her in a suicide attack.
Most observers and analysts believed that the source could be only the Islamic Republic of Iran who had access to confidential information of on many terrorist groups.
As you see, the spirit of Shia solidarity manifests itself in fundamental ways.”
