A top Interior Ministry official has dismissed reports that Mojahedin Khalq Organization (MKO) members have been stationed in the Iraqi Kurdistan region.<\/p>\n
“Iraqi officials do not allow such transfer,” Deputy Interior Minister for Security Affairs Ali Abdollahi stated on Monday.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in his remarks, Abdollahi refuted the news that Abdolmalek Rigi’s spouse has entered Iran.<\/p>\n
Rigi, the leader of the terrorist Jundallah group, was arrested in last February and hanged in June.<\/p>\n
Pakistanis not waiting to cross border into Iran<\/p>\n
He also dismissed the reports that a huge crowd of Pakistanis from the flood-stricken areas are waiting across the border to enter Iran.<\/p>\n
MP Abbasali Noura on Saturday warned about the potential arrival of a huge number of Pakistanis into Iran.<\/p>\n
However, an entry of flood-hit Pakistani nationals into the country could be a security threat to the country in the future, Abdollahi noted.<\/p>\n
He added that the Iran-Pakistan border is under tight control and necessary measures have been taken to prevent illegal crossings.<\/p>\n
Although Iran borders insecure countries, it is among the secure countries in the world, the Interior Ministry official noted.<\/p>\n
He also cited the smuggling of drugs, weapons, and alcoholic drinks into the country as the major nuisances<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
