Paris assassin was briefed in Tehran

Ahmad Jayhouni, who is presently detained in Germany for his involvement in the murder of an Iranian dissident in Paris, was called to Tehran to be briefed on the assassination plan, information from within the mullahs' regime says.

Upon the instruction of the mullahs' minister of intelligence, Jayhouni went to Tehran in early May and returned to Germany on May 7, 1996. Reza Mazlouman was assassinated in a Paris suburb on May 27.

Ahmad Jayhouni is an experienced agent of the Ministry of Intelligence. He was involved in a number of embezzlement cases and has used his position in the secret services to collect much wealth. On July 18, 1994, the mullahs' Prosecutor General banned his exit from the country. With the support and backing of the Intelligence Ministry, however, he has evaded the legal consequences and traveled dozens of times in and out of Iran.

Before his arrest, Jayhouni had direct contact with the intelligence section of the regime's embassy in Bonn. His intelligence and terrorist activities in Germany were carried out in the guise of a video store.

The Iranian Resistance calls for the immediate extradition of Jayhouni to France. We further urge the French political and legal officials to decisively prosecute and punish Jayhouni and arrest and prosecute the rest of the perpetrators in this crime.

As the Iranian Resistance has repeatedly emphasized, closure of the regime's embassy and representations, whose main tasks are terrorism and espionage, is the prerequisite to any confrontation with the regime's unbridled terrorism.
