Ahmadinejad: Iranians Kidnapped in Lebanon in 1982 Held in Israel

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

The four Iranians kidnapped in Lebanon at the height of the civil war are alive and being held in Israel, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said.

“Regarding the four abducted Iranian diplomats, there are documents (which prove) they are alive and in the hands of the Zionist regime,” Ahmadinejad was quoted by Iran’s Fars News Agency as telling U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon during a meeting in New York on Saturday.

“It is therefore expected of the U.N. Secretary General to take serious measures for their release,” Ahmadinejad said.

The diplomats were kidnapped in 1982. Israel at the time was carrying out a major military operation in Lebanon when the three men -- Mohsen Mousavi, Ahmad Motevaselian and Taghi Rastegar Moghadam -- disappeared, along with Kazem Akhaven, a photographer with Iran's official IRNA news agency.

Reports say the four Iranians were seized by a Christian militia.

Their skulls and bones can be found way at the bottom of Wadi Al-Jamamem on the Bosta road from Himlaya to Tannourine... The Lebanese Resistance killed them because they were training the Hezbollah terrorists. Allah yghamme'lun w 3umrun ma yerja3o.

No one cares about Iranians. Mahmoud was one of the group that took Americans hostage in the embassy 3 years prior. Why doesn't he say that?

ms29:
whether you like it or not Lebanon is an Arab country, and we are proud of this fact.
in spite of all your efforts, Lebanon will never become farsi, and soon you will find yourself running to Iran, because you will realize that Lebanese people will no longer shelter your likes ....

Geha.... Lebanon is not Arab nor Persian, it's Lebanese! Ancestors of a proud and great ancient civilisation of the Pheonecians assimilating with bits of every other civilisations that has passed through including Arab. But we are not "Arab" whether you like it or not. You cannot compare Lebanese with Saudi or kuwati or emirati, they are the real Arabs.

@ado:
I do not know in which universe you are still living!
Lebanon is an Arab country with phenicien origin :)

geha... Not only are the Lebanese not Arabs, but the vast majority of people who consider themselves Arabs, from Morocco to Iraq, are not Arabs, and didn't start calling themselves Arabs until the last 200-300 years. The Bedouins and those who live in the Arab Peninsula are the real Arabs, and before the 1700s, they were the only ones who were referred to as Arabs.
