Iran: Former Ambassador Calls for Execution of CIA Spy
Iranian Diplomat advocates executing CIA spy
The former Iranian ambassador to Italy and Mexico is calling for the execution of a US citizen suspected of espionage in the spot where Iranian nuclear scientist Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan was killed last week.
Suspected CIA spy Amir Mirzai Hekmati was arrested last month by Iran intelligence services on suspicion he spied for the US.“The terrorist attack on the scientist must not be left unanswered and therefore it is advisable to immediately execute the American spy at the site of the explosion,” Ambassador Mohamed Hassan Qadiri wrote on his blog.
He noted that had the two Americans charged with espionage Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal not been released, their execution could also have been put on the agenda.
The former ambassador said this would have enhanced the Iranian people’s alertness “in detecting spies, especially from America and Israel and relaying their details to the security services.”On Saturday, the Iranian foreign minister said Tehran holds reliable documents proving that Roshan’s assassination was planned and backed by the CIA.
