Video: Dan Rather Reports The Most Wanted Man In Iran 

Not many answers. But a rare interview with the elusive 24-year-old Abdolmalek Rigi, leader of the Balochi guerilla organization, the Jundollah, and discussion of the recent flare up in violence which has gripped Balochistan, costing many lives in the process. Freedom fighters, terrorists, dangerous zealots, you decide? Caution: violent images feature in this Dan Rather Reports...

"Abdolmalek Rigi [1] (also spelt Abdul-Malek Rigi or Emir Abdulmalik Rigi) (Persian [2]: عبدالمالک ریگی) is the leader of Jundallah [3], a militant organization based in the southeastern area of Iran. Some believe the Jundallah is linked to Al-Qaeda [4][1] [5]. Jundallah aims for the better treatment of the people of Balochistan [6] from Iran. Jundallah is a militant group that according to evidence and some international sources receives funding from the US Government and Iranians abroad."
