Jayhouni: Khomeini regime's intelligence ministry agent

Ahmad Jayhouni, who was arrested by the German police following the assassination last month in Paris of Reza Mazlouman, is a high ranking member of the intelligence ministry of the mullahs' regime in Iran. This information is based on the investigations of the anti-terrorism committee of the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

Ahmad Jayhouni has been active for several years in direct association with the "third floor" of the mullahs' embassy in Bonn which serves the functions of the intelligence ministry headquarters in Germany. It is in this base where the intelligence ministry handles the mullahs' many terrorist operations in Europe.

Jayhouni played an active and important role in identifying the regime's opponents and in designing the operations for their kidnapping and/or assassination. His activities in Germany and Europe were carried out under an alias. Jayhouni sometimes posed as an opponent of the regime who has resources and an active network inside Iran. In this guise, he built contacts with Iranian refugees and thereby, pursued his spying and terrorist assignments for the ministry of intelligence.

The regime's leaders, especially Rafsanjani and Ali Fallahian, are extremely alarmed at the arrest of Jayhouni who has top secret information about the modus operandi of the regime's spying teams and death squads, as well as on the names of the agents of the intelligence ministry in foreign countries. Officials of the ministries of intelligence and foreign affairs and the regime's embassy in Bonn have hastily taken action to contact Jayhouni and prevent his extradition to France. Hayati, head of the office of Moussavian, the regime's ambassador to Bonn, is making every effort to contact Jayhouni who is presently in detention.

Since the beginning of 1996, Mazlouman is the 11th Iranian dissident assassinated abroad by the terrorists of the Tehran regime. The assassinations indicate the regime's desperation in the face of irremediable crises inside the country on the one hand and the failure of Europe's policy of critical dialogue with this anti-human regime, on the other. It also clearly reveals how much the mullahs take advantage of economic and diplomatic relations to advance their terrorist objectives.

The National Council of Resistance of Iran urges the French and German governments, judicial authorities, and police to adopt a decisive policy towards the mullahs' regime and do not allow it to take advantage of diplomatic and economic relations to blackmail and exert pressure on these countries and evade its agent from justice.

The Iranian Resistance once again emphasizes the need for the closure of the regime's representations abroad all of whom indulge in espionage and terrorism.
