20090709 Brother of Terrorist - US Support Jundullah Terrorist Group

Jundullah leader Abdulmalik Rigi received $100,000 from US operatives to fuel sectarianism in Iran in just one of their meetings, his brother has said. "My brother Abdulmalik met several times with US forces in Pakistan," Abdulhamid Rigi told a group of tribal leaders and citizens in the town of Iranshahr in the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan. "I myself took part in one of those meetings, where we discussed recruitment, training, infiltrating Iran and methods of inflaming Sunni-Shia sectarianism for three hours. In that meeting, the Americans gave my brother $100,000," he added. Abdulhamid also said that during the meeting in question, his brother had asked for computer and satellite equipment, which he used to recruit young Sunni Baluchies. According to Jundullah's former number two, young men were attracted to the group because it sought to portray itself as an Islamic and Jihadist movement. He said that the group promoted the idea that killing two people from the Shia community would ensure entry to Paradise as they are infidels. Abdulhamid said that he had shot his wife dead in the Pakistani city of Quetta while she was asleep, because his brother had said she must die for being a Shia and a government spy. He added that Abdulmalik too had previously killed his own wife by slitting her throat for the same reason. Abdulhamid Rigi had earlier confirmed that the ring leader had repeatedly met with US agents in the Pakistani cities of Islamabad and Karachi since 2005. "In Pakistan, Malik [Abdulmalik Rigi] contacted an individual who resided in the US, who then put him through to the FBI," he said in a recent interview with Press TV. Jundullah (meaning 'God's Army') is a Pakistan-based terrorist group closely affiliated with the notorious al-Qaeda organization and is made up of disgruntled members of Iran's Sunni Baluch community. A 2007 Sunday Telegraph report revealed that the CIA had created Jundullah to achieve 'regime change in Iran'. The report said it was the very same US intelligence outfit that had tried to destabilize Iran by 'supplying arms-length support' and 'money and weapons' to Jundullah. Another report posted by ABC also revealed that the US officials had ordered Jundullah to 'stage deadly guerrilla raids inside the Islamic Republic, kidnap Iranian officials and execute them on camera', all as part of a 'programmatic objective to overthrow the Iranian government'. Jundullah has carried out a number of bombings and other violent attacks in Iran resulting in many casualties. Some of the attacks for which it has claimed responsibility are the killings of at least 16 Iranian police officers in a 2008 attack, nine Iranian security guards in 2005, and another 11 in a 2007 bombing. The group's leader Abdulmalik Rigi has also publicly claimed responsibility for a bombing in May at a Shia mosque in the southeastern city of Zahedan, which left 25 worshipers dead and scores injured. Soon after the attack, Abdulmalik Rigi admitted during an interview with a US-based satellite TV station that his group collaborated with another anti-Iranian terrorist group, the Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO). "They (MKO) inform us about the regime's activities in our areas of operations and let us know of the regime's forces in these districts and send us most of the intelligence of our interest by email and messages," Rigi told the station. MKO is listed as a terrorist organization by the US, Iran, and Iraq. Nevertheless, the US government has still not classified Jundullah as a proscribed terrorist organization

@parsizaban grow up

[parsizaban]

@fz1844 as you said, this group jondollah is the result of the injustices done to the baloochi people from iranian moslem rejime.

[fz1844]

@parsizaban - it may be that I don't know all the political details. But just what you have said, and what has been done in Central and South America, is not righteous. To put up dictators, to send weapons to a country so they can oppress others, just to serve your own ends, is wrong. This is sowing evil, and you will reap evil...which is what is happening. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. Terrorism does not spring out of nowhere...it comes when people's rights are abused.

[parsizaban]

@fz1844 usa supported taliban before they were a terrorist group and when they were fighting communist ussr. they were also supporting saddam against terrorist mullahs of iran which they had provoked saddam to attack them by supporting anti-saddam shias in iraq.

you have been misinformed by mullahs tvs and propaganda.

[fz1844]

@parsizaban - "usa does not support terrorists" Are you sure? Didn't they support Saddam? Didn't they support Bin Laden? Didn't they support various military dictatorships in Central America? They just don't advertise these things on the front of their newspapers, because they want to look good in the eyes of the public. Ruining a government by causing unrest within is often much more effective than outright war...it's called military strategy.

[parsizaban]

usa does not support terrorists. usa does not also have to support this group. if usa wants to fight with moslem regime in iran, it would do so openly as it did with saddam hussein. usa is not a small poor insignificant country that has to support groups such as these. for what? don't be naive believing iranian propaganda.
