2007/09/11
Iran asked Germany to explain about presence of leader of a terrorist group in that country, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said here Tuesday. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of an economic gathering, he said Berlin had to explain about presence in Germany of some elements of the Pejak terrorist group.
According to media reports, the group let leader has recently announced in an interview that he had been in Germany. Mottaki said that Iran has "naturally managed to halt some terrorist moves and tensions in its border areas. "It is necessary to prevent terrorists entry to Iran from Iraqi borders as well as other areas," said the minister.
Stressing that there is no problem in the existing relations between Iran and northern Iraq, Mottaki regretted that "there are always some elements trying to tar bilateral relations." Today, terrorist groups in the region are seeking to damage amicable ties between Iran and northern Iraq, he added.
