Paris, 08 July 2006 (Iran Terror) – Most Iran-watchers are aware that the main opposition to the theocratic regime had organised a gathering north of Paris on July 1. As expected, Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS aka VEVAK) immediately began to slander the event and minimise its significance.

Judge Antinn of the Swiss Magistrate quite recently issued an international arrest warrant for Ali Fallahian, a top Iranian security chief and Iran’s Minister of Intelligence in the early 1990s. This arrest warrant unveiled a state terrorist record after 16 years. The propitiators in Iran thought that they can get away with it counting yet again on the inaction of the European governments when it came to the ruling clerical regime in Iran.
We have recently learnt through its sources that the commander and designer of the Swiss attack on the Iranian human rights activist, Professor Kazem Rajavi is currently assigned as the Iranian ambassador to Germany.

The Los Angles Times reported on June 17 that Southern Iraq has fallen under the sway of Shiite militiamen and political parties with ties to Iran, and Sunnis fear that they are being targeted with the Shiite-dominated government's apathy, if not approval.
"We don't want to accuse anybody, but we really want to ask the government, 'Where is your new security plan?' ", said Sheik Abdul Baset Subaii, a Basra spokesman for the Muslim Scholars Assn., a Sunni Arab religious group.

 Several key agents of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS a.k.a. VEVAK) operating in countries bordering Iran have gone on the run from their terror masters in Tehran, a well-placed source inside the government report.
Refusing to identify specifically the agents that had gone on the run, the source who requested anonymity told Iran terror that the agents were “high up” on the ministry’s organisational chart.
The contact blackout began last month and the ministry has still not managed to track the agents’ locations, the source said.

In a press release issued Saturday, Al-Olyan said a delegation from the Accord Front of Iraq explained about Iran's flagrant interventions in Iraqi affairs and its negative impact on the security and stability of Iraq to the Iranian minister.
"At the same time, the issue of explosions carried out by Iranian-backed militias in Iraq who target Iraqi citizens was also brought to the attention of the Iranian minister because a number of them have been arrested by the American forces," said Al-Olyan.

Stop Fundamentalism – A local daily, Az-Zaman, reported on, May 25 that Iraqi political leaders based in London turned down Tehran's mediation request for talks with different Iraqi groups due to Iran’s ambiguous intentions.
The leaders said the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had introduced a secret article to Iran's budget bill, allocating some one billion dollars for assistance to Iraqi parties and groups. A former Revolutionary Guards officer by the name of Ja’afari has been assigned to oversee the distribution of the funds.
Iran has been accused of meddling in its neighboring country by many political groups and the coalition forces in Iraq.
Iraq’s Foreign Minister, Hoshyar Zibari, in a statement on May 26 clearly directed towards his visiting Iranian counterpart, Manouchehr Mottaki, urged Iraq’s neighbors to “understand the circumstances in Iraq and the security and political complications involved and not take advantage.”

 The blast in Diyala pushed in the side of the white public bus and peppered its blackened side with shrapnel holes. The bus, later inspected by U.S. Army troops, was streaked in blood. Associated Press, BAGHDAD, Iraq -- A slew of car and roadside bombs killed more than 30 people in Iraq on Monday, a day after a tribal chief who challenged Iraq's most feared terrorist and sent fighters to help U.S. troops battle al-Qaida in western Iraq was gunned down.
The explosions began just after dawn with a roadside bomb that killed 10 Iraqis who worked for an organization of Iranian dissidents living in Iraq. The blast targeted a public bus near Khalis, 50 miles north of Baghdad in Diyala province, an area notorious for such attacks. Twelve people were wounded, police said.
All the dead were Iraqi employees heading to the main camp of the Mujahedeen Khalq, which opposes Iran's regime, the group said.
A car bomb placed near Baghdad's main Sunni Abu Hanifa mosque killed at least nine Iraqis and wounded 25, police said. The bomb exploded at noon in north Baghdad's Azamiyah neighborhood and was so powerful it vaporized the vehicle. Rescue crews and Iraqi army soldiers carried people on stretchers to ambulances, AP Television News footage showed.
Another bomb planted in a parked minivan killed at least seven and wounded 20 at the entrance to an open-air market selling clothes in the northern Baghdad suburb of Kazimiyah, police said.
A parked car exploded near Ibin al-Haitham college in Azamiyah, also in northern Baghdad, killing two civilians and wounding at least five, including four Iraqi soldiers, police Lt. Col. Falah al-Mohammedawi said.

The Washington Post, May 21 - Since the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime, Iran has methodically built and strengthened its military, political and religious influence in Iraq. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has extensively infiltrated Iraq's Ministry of the Interior and police force, both mainstays of Shiite power. The hundreds of Iranian mullahs and businessmen who have slipped across the border have a commanding presence in southern Iraq's commercial and religious sectors….
Over the past three years, Tehran has deployed to Iraq a large number of the Revolutionary Guard's Qods Force -- a highly professional force specializing in assassinations and bombings -- as well as officers from the Ministry of Intelligence and National Security and representatives of Lebanese Hezbollah.
The Qods Force has a longstanding relationship with Hezbollah, which it trains and supplies in coordination with Syria through an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps unit in central Lebanon. In the words of Iranian Maj. Gen. Yahya Rahim Safavi, the IRGC commander, "The range of [the IRGC's] duty is not limited to our land and we have extra-border missions."

Jordan broadcasted a television program of what it says are Hamas members confessing to smuggling arms into the country and planning attacks.
The broadcast on Thursday also displayed a weapons stockpile including hand grenades and Iranian-made Katushya rockets seized in raids last month.
On Wednesday 20 Hamas members were arrested after their weapons were discovered.
The apparent leader of the group, named as Ayman Naji Daraghmeh, spoke of his links to Hamas and his trips to Syria - where the group's leadership is based - and also of spying on a Jordanian intelligence officer who was to be killed.
A second suspect said Daraghmeh had told him of plans to attack a bus carrying members of the Jordanian intelligence services, and a third said he was involved in a plot to kill a Jordanian Christian.

 The Daily Telegraph reported on May 9 that the Army now believes the Lynx helicopter shot down over central Basra at last weekend was most probably hit by a surface-to-air missile, obtained possibly from neighboring Iran, after missile casings were discovered on the third floor of a nearby building.
The discovery, if confirmed, will be a worrying development for British operations in Iraq, which are increasingly reliant on helicopter "air bridges" to move men and equipment to reduce the risk of convoys being ambushed by roadside bombs.
The discarded missile parts were located when a search was conducted of the building as British troops swept the surrounding area.
The missile is understood to have been identified as a Russian-made weapon that can be packed into a golf bag and quickly assembled and fired by one person with minimal training.
Many Iraqi groups have expressed concerns lately that Iran's influence has expanded to Iraqi parliament.
