Ahmadinejad hails Iran's strong performance in arresting Rigi
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Feb 24, IRNA -- President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed the strong performance of Iranian forces in arresting the terrorist gang leader, Abdolmalek Rigi.
Addressing a group of elite and outstanding figures in the eastern province of South Khorasan on Wednesday, he said those who claim fighting terrorism should act like Iran.
He questioned the authenticity of such claims and said they would have not issued passports for Rigi had they been sincere in their claims.
He noted that Iran managed to arrest the terrorist through precise planning and believe this should serve as a model for those who just claim fighting terrorism.
Ahmadinejad arrived in the city of Birjand, the capital of South Khorasan province Tuesday morning.
Ahmadinejad’s visit to the province takes place as part of his third round of provincial tours which initially started since his taking office as the country’s president almost five years ago.
