Iran: Missing general likely kidnapped
Iran officially announced on Tuesday that its former deputy defense minister was missing while on a private trip to neighboring Turkey, and its top police chief accused Western intelligence services of possibly kidnapping the official.

Ali Reza Asghari, a retired general in the elite Revolutionary Guards and a former deputy defense minister, had arrived in Turkey on a private visit from Damascus, Syria, the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported Tuesday.

Iran's top police chief, Gen. Esmaeil Ahmadi Moghaddam, said Iran was investigating the fate of Asghari through the Turkish police.

"It is likely that Asghari has been abducted by the Western intelligence services," IRNA quoted the Iranian police general as saying. The general did not elaborate.

Meanwhile, however, the London-based Arab daily Asharq alawsat said on Tuesday, quoting high-profile sources, that Asghari may have sought asylum in the US.

The newspaper reported that the Iranian official had left for the US shortly after arriving in the Turkish capital.

Other reports from the Arab media suggested that the Mossad and the CIA were behind Asgari's disappearance. Israel has denied involvement in the general's disappearance, but The Daily Telegraph speculated on Monday that Asgari could have been abducted by Israel to shed light on the whereabouts of missing IAF navigator Ron Arad, who Israel has claimed might have been held at one point by Iran.

Fearing that Iran will try to kidnap senior Israeli officials who are traveling abroad, the Israeli security establishment was reevaluating Tuesday and adjusting security arrangements for certain officials visiting non-Western and Muslim countries.

The Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) - the agency in charge of providing security for Israeli officials - said: "We formulate our security arrangements according to developments in the field and intelligence information."

Meanwhile, Iran has asked Turkish officials to investigate Asgari's disappearance, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted Monday as saying.

Mottaki said Iran was "taking all the necessary steps" to solve the case of the missing general.

"A director-general from the (foreign) ministry has traveled to Turkey (to follow up the case). We have asked Turkey to investigate Asgari's case," said Mottaki.

Reportedly, Asgari, who was a Revolutionary Guards commander at the end of the eighties and beginning of the nineties, was involved in a deal to transfer Arad to the Iranians in exchange for a large sum of money.

The Telegraph said it was understood that Hizbullah guerillas might have passed Arad up the chain of command to their Iranian handlers.

The Telegraph also suggested that the former spy chief was not kidnapped by an intelligence service but defected while visiting Turkey, escaping to a Western country, and Israel and the US were showing special interest in the case since Asgari might be able to shed some light on the fate of Arad.

In Turkey, the Interior Ministry said it was investigating the matter, but would not confirm or deny that Asghari had disappeared or been kidnapped.

Personally, I think all these missing Generals understand how insane Ahmadinejad and Khameini are, and are defecting before they wind up melted..

So funny, you were right, and now these 15 human shields are retaliation for the defection of these Iranians
and capture of Iranian terrorist in Iraq and Gaza

7 Iranian agents nabbed in Gaza, another commits suicide

Palestinian security forces arrest seven Iranians at Hamas-linked university in Strip, say men sent by Iran to train Islamic group; Hamas commander believed to have orchestrated kidnapping of Israeli soldier Shalit injured in raid, report says

Palestinian security officers arrested seven Iranian citizens during a raid at the Islamic University, a Hamas stronghold in Gaza City, a security official said, and another committed suicide during the raid. Six to nine Palestinians were killed in the raid, sources said.

Early Friday morning the violence spread to the West Bank, when two Hamas operatives were kidnapped in Ramallah by members of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, witnesses said.

Big deal stomps his feet. I recall when Leader Kruscheiv had a meeting with President John F. Kennedy and with his shoe whacked it on the table saying "we will bury you". That was sometime back in the early 1960s.

correct but he didn't take hostages he just took out jk

When the west kidnaps, it is "daring". When someone else does it, it's a travesty. I see.

Pretty much, yeah.

Like when the yahoodis do one of their "targeted killing" things.

If someone does the same thing to them, they wail and moan and carry on like the dickens.

Yes, tough talk for a girly man indeed
