Former Iranian General and assistant defense minister Ali Rez Asghari left Iran using a new passport and pseudonym and managed to smuggle important intelligence documents, according to a report published Friday morning by London based newspaper Asharaq Alawsat.
According to the report, the missing Iranian general was carrying documents and maps of Iran's military and intelligence infrastructure as well as information regarding the relations between the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Hizbullah and the Islamic Jihad.

In addition, the general was reported to possess information regarding the Iranian nuclear program as well as information about Iran's strategic military plans.
Meanwhile, Turkish newspapers reported that three Iranians disappeared in Turkey, following allegations that they attempted to smuggle missiles into Iran.
Turkish newspapers reported Friday morning that the three Iranians, who owned Turkish companies operating, disappeared late last year following their attempts to smuggle spare used missile parts to Iran.
Reportedly, the attempt to export American-made rocket pieces to Iran, was foiled when Turkish customs informed the US authorities of the sale.
Turkish newspapers reported that the three Iranians disappeared shortly after the incident, last December.
The best intelligence ops are the ones when we score a TREMENDOUS coup, and the man in the street is left thinking "how incompetent can our intel agencies be?" They kind of like it that way. The congresscritters that fund them are the only people who need to know the dirty secrets.
I sure most of us do not forget that Mossad probably has enough agents in Iran to fully map out the whole infrastructor. And surely enough Iranians are working with foreign agents to further expose anything the Iranians may attempt to keep secret. And real time sat photos do not lie.
OT--- Forecast calls for 81 degree's here tomorrow...finally.....

I do! This general owns a 7-11 a mile from my house. He only hires rag-heads that habla even worse English than Mexicans.
Why must I point and use my hands to communicate what I want instead of just using a few simple words here? I communicated like this while passing through rural areas of foreign countries just nicely. Before learning a few words.
We all need to walk around in T-shirts that say 'SPEAK ENGLISH para mi'
He was nominated for a Nobel Peace prize in '06 and he deserved it.
