Profile: Iran's Jundullah militants
BBC / Roger Hardy
19-Oct-2009 (6 comments)

The Iranian authorities have accused a shadowy group called Jundullah - the Soldiers of God - of carrying out a suicide bombing on 18 October which killed six commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. But what is Jundullah, what does it want - and who is behind it?

It was founded in 2002 to defend the Baluchi minority in the poor, remote and lawless region of south-east Iran.

Its leader, Abdolmalek Rigi, denies the group has either foreign links or a separatist agenda.

I wouldn't put it pass the CIA to be involved with Jundullah at some level.  I don't think that anyone will know the extent of the involvement though, given the nature of the characters involved.  I also think that Saudis and Pakistanis, and possibly even the UAE, support them.

CIA Connection

According to Pakistan’s former Army Chief, retired General Mirza
Aslam Baig, the U.S. supports the Jundullah terrorist group and uses it
to destabilize Iran. Baig knows what he is talking about, as he was on
the inside track when the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI created al-Qaeda and
the Taliban. Both Baig and former ISI chief Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul were
part of the Darul Uloom Haqqania Islamic conference held near Peshawar
on January 9, 2001, significant because the conference was hosted by
CIA asset Osama bin Laden. Baig rubs elbows with Pakistan’s ruling
oligarchs, so he knows something about what goes down in South and
Central Asia and the Greater Middle East.

I think you're right.  I have read the same thing.  I think that they have been keeping the brother as a bargaining chip in case they needed to use one.  But after this recent attack, things may change. I wouldn't be surprised if they hang him now.

I recall the brother of Jundallah's leader has been captured by IRI waiting to be executed. I read in Press TV website several months ago.....

Thank you for the article!
