Tehran will seek extradition of PJAK leader from Germany

TEHRAN, March 8 (MNA) – Parliament speaker Ali Larijani said on Monday that Tehran will seek the extradition of PJAK terrorist leader Abdolrahman Haji Ahmadi from Germany to stand trial in Iran.
German police arrested Haji Ahmadi at his home on Friday.

Iran is making diplomatic efforts to persuade German officials to extradite PJAK leader to Iran, Larijani told reporters.

PJAK is an offshoot of the internationally-recognized terrorist group, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), that conducts deadly operations in Kurdish-populated regions of western Iran.

According to a New York Times report in October 2007, PJAK has had “direct or indirect discussions” with American officials and the group’s leader, reportedly visited Washington in summer of 2007.

Biryar Gabar, one of 11 members of the group’s leadership, also said there had been “normal dialogue” with American officials with one of his bodyguards saying that officials of the group met with Americans in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 2006.

On January 24, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad submitted the administration’s $368 billion national budget bill to the Majlis.

The committee did not approve the administration’s decision to calculate $40 billion in revenues from subsidy cut savings and lowered the amount to $20 billion.

However, the move was strongly opposed by the administration.
