Can Missing Defense Minister Tie Tehran To Terrorist?

     Pan-Arab newspaper al-Sharq al-Awsat reported Friday that the former deputy defense minister of Iran who vanished in Turkey in February left Iran with documents proving that there was a link between Iran's military and terrorist groups two of which are Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah.

    Ali Reza Asghari, a former associate, has told al-Sharq al-Awsat, which comes out of London, that the documents also pointed a finger at other groups like Mahdi Shi'ite militia which operates out of Iraq.

Asghari disappeared in Turkey in what many claim was a pick-up by Western intelligence operatives as a report says that he was involved with Iran's nuclear programs. The report could not be verified. Source

   If this is the case then the question becomes, who has him? The United States or Israel? More than likely Israel under the direction of the United States.

Federal agents also raided a party rental company in Southern California on Thursday and arrested 11 workers on immigration violations, authorities said. That company did work at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and the raid was part of an effort by immigration authorities in San Diego to review employment records of military contractors.

In Arizona, immigration agents had promised stepped-up examinations of construction, agricultural, landscaping and service-industry businesses in hopes of deterring illegal hiring and lessening the economic incentive for immigrants to illegally cross the border.

The Pew Hispanic Center has estimated that 10 percent of all workers in Arizona's economy are illegal immigrants, a figure that federal officials have called conservative.
