Iran Interior Min: "Rioters" Received Funds From CIA
(Adds quote.)
TEHRAN (AFP)--Iranian Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli said Wednesday that
rioters involved in post-election violence were funded by the CIA and the exiled
opposition group the People's Mujahedeen of Iran.
"Many rioters are in touch with the Unites States, the CIA and the Monafeghin
(People's Mujahedeen) and are being funded by their money," Mahsouli was quoted
as saying.
He also accused "the Zionist occupying regime" of being among the masterminds
of the unrest that was unleashed after the disputed re-election of President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
