Iran's Missing Nukes

Scientists, that is.

So to where did we render them, readers?


"Iran accuses US in disappearance of atomic scientist; Researcher was on pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia" by Ali Akbar Dareini, Associated Press | October 8, 2009

TEHRAN - Iran accused the United States yesterday of involvement in the disappearance of one of its nuclear scientists during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, raising a new mystery at a time when the West is trying to determine the extent of Iran’s nuclear program.

Shahram Amiri vanished during a pilgrimage to the kingdom more than four months ago and Saudi Arabia has not responded to requests for information on his whereabouts, Iranian officials say....

Why is this the first we are hearing of it; imagine if the shoe were on the other foot; and why is this just a one-day wonder?

Amiri’s wife and other relatives have demonstrated in recent weeks in front of the Saudi Embassy in Tehran, demanding to know his fate. His wife said he traveled to Saudi Arabia on May 31 for Omra, an Islamic pilgrimage, and that the last she heard from him was in a June 3 phone call, according to the semiofficial ISNA news agency.

Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said yesterday that Amiri had been arrested and accused the United States of a role. “We’ve obtained documents about US involvement over Shahram Amiri’s disappearance,’’ Mottaki said. “We hold Saudi Arabia responsible for Shahram Amiri’s situation and consider the US to be involved in his arrest.’’

I would NOT DOUBT IT in the LEAST -- especially when the issue has been concealed for so long and disappears just as fast.

Iran has asked Saudi Arabia for information on Amiri’s whereabouts but has received no reply, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hasan Qashqavi said earlier this week. There was no immediate comment from Saudi officials. In Washington, State Department spokesman Ian C. Kelly said he had no information....

Like some U.S. State puke would come forward with the truth!

The Arab newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat, which is owned by Saudi businessmen, reported last week that Mottaki made a formal complaint to UN chief Ban Ki-moon about the disappearances of Amiri and several other Iranians in recent years....

And is Ban outraged or anything?

I haven't even heard a fart pot from the globalist figurehead!

Also on the list Mottaki handed over was Ali Reza Asghari, a retired general in the elite Revolutionary Guard and a former deputy defense minister, who disappeared during a private visit to Turkey in December 2007. Iran accused Western intelligence services at the time of possibly kidnapping the official, though other reports have said he may have defected.

I remember that guy!!!

"It's quite possible that General Asghari, kidnapped by MOSSAD/CIA operatives in December 2006, will be trotted out in early 2008 to be the next "Smoking Gun" the White House war mongers will use to fabricate a case for another ME war, this time against Iran"

Yeah, he defected!

If he had, USrael wouldn't have been caught off-guard on the new processing plant.
