Film on Amiri, proves existence of terrorism in US administration
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, June 9, IRNA – A senior parliamentarian said Tuesday evening that the documentary screened on the Iranian television about the abducted Iranian national, Shahram Amiri, is an indication to the presence of terrorism in the US administration.
Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of Majlis, made the remarks while talking to IRNA.
He criticized the abduction of the Iranian scientist and researcher by the so-called advocates of anti-terrorism campaign.
The MP announced that the Amiri’s case is under investigation through consultations with the Saudi Information Ministry and via legal channels.
Boroujerdi regretted that the Saudi intelligence service, responsible for safeguarding the security of pilgrims, is acting the same as the CIA.
In a video clip aired on Iran TV channels on Monday, Amiri said he was now in the US and that he had been kidnapped by US agents en route to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia in June 2009.
In related developments, Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said on Tuesday that the film confirmed Tehran’s charges that Amiri had been kidnapped by the US and Saudi intelligence services.
Meanwhile, Tehran summoned the ambassador of Switzerland, whose her country represents Washington’s interests in Iran in the absence of a US embassy.
Documents confirming Amiri’s abduction along with a protest letter were handed to the Swiss envoy.
