Iran Suspects Political Motives behind Piracy in Region

TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian Navy commander raised the possibility of politically-tainted support for piracy in the region.

Somali pirates are poor and simple people without any expertise and there might be sort of support behind their activities, Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Navy Rear Admiral Gholam-Reza Khadem Biqam told reporters on Saturday.

He added that acting as a pirate needs special knowledge and expertise and pirates' activities are impossible without guidance, support and logistics.

The commander added that pirates usually use hostages as a human shield, but Iranian Navy commandos managed to release hostages without any casualties and arrested 21 pirates in the past two operations.

Iran's naval forces on Friday rescued a Chinese freighter which had been seized by pirates 45 miles off Iran's Southern port city of Bandar Jask.

"The pirates seized the ship in international waters, 45 miles off Bandar Jask, but it was freed through the successful operations of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy and nine pirates were arrested," Deputy Head of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization Saeed Izadian told FNA on Friday.

"The Chinese ship, called Xianghuamen, had 28 crew members aboard and was sailing under a Panamanian flag," Izadian added.

The Iranian official also said that the vessel carried ironware and was heading towards the Iranian port of Imam Khomeini.

In line with international efforts against piracy, the Iranian naval forces have been conducting anti-piracy patrols in international waters off its coasts since November 2008 to safeguard maritime trade, and in particular ships and oil tankers owned or leased by Iran.

Yeah. How can an illiterate villager from Somalia can operate sophisticated navigational equipment and satellite ship tracking terminals in addition to marine comm links to get to ships and hijack them. That is an open question.

Yep looks dodgy to me


Question by Congressman William Alexander, Jr. So you worked for Mr. [John] Gotti as well as for the CIA?
Answer by Richard Brenneke. Actually the CIA told me to do that on his behalf.
Q. So the CIA was in, would you say, partnership or association with Mr. Gotti?
A. Yes, sir. I would say a partnership.
Q. And can you describe the nature of that partnership?
A. Sure. The organized crime members had a need for two things: they needed drugs brought into the country on a reliable, safe basis; they needed people taken out of the country or people brought into the country without alerting customs or INS to the fact that they were being brought into the country; they also needed their money taken offshore so that it would not be subject to United States tax where they might have to declare its source. And so we performed these kinds of functions for them.
Q. Mr. Brenneke, are you saying that the CIA was in the business of bringing drugs into the United States?
A. Yes, sir. That's exactly what I'm saying.
