An Iranian nuclear scientist claimed by Tehran to have been abducted by the US has sought refuge in Pakistan's embassy in Washington, Iranian state television said.
In a dramatic development in a long-running mystery, Shahram Amiri was said to be demanding to be allowed to return home. Mr Amiri disappeared last year while on a pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
Iran claimed he had been seized by the Saudi intelligence services working in collaboration with the CIA. Washington said such claims were "ridiculous" but shed no light on what happened to him.
The American television channel ABC reported it had been told by official sources that he had defected voluntarily and was providing information to the US authorities.
Intelligence websites said he had been "turned" while on trips to Frankfurt and Vienna, and had provided detailed information on the secret uranium enrichment plant the Iranians were discovered to be building.
Iran and the US have had no diplomatic relations since the Islamic revolution in 1979, and national interests are looked after by the Pakistani embassy in Washington and the Swiss embassy in Tehran respectively.
Mehr, an Iranian news agency, reported yesterday that Mr Amiri, a nuclear researcher at Tehran's Malek Ashtar University who also worked for the Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation, "went to Iran's interest section and asked for a quick return to Tehran".
Yesterday, a spokesman for Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Islamabad said Mr Amiri had been "dropped off" at the Iranian interests section of the Pakistani embassy in Washington at 6.30 pm local time on Monday.
"He was dropped there by someone," said Abdul Basit. "He's in the Iranian interests section, not in the Pakistan embassy per se. They are making arrangements to repatriate him."
The Iranian interests section is in a separate building, about three kilometres from the Pakistani embassy. Mr Basit said he did not know how Mr Amiri had got there or how he would be sent back to Iran.
Neither Pakistani embassy nor US State Department officials were immediately available for comment. If the report were true, it will provoke an awkward and embarrassing diplomatic stand-off for the US.
In the past two months, a series of videos have emerged which seem to be of Mr Amiri. In the first and third, shown on Iranian television, a man is seen talking into what appears to be a computer video phone, claiming he has escaped from his American captors and wants to come home. "I could be re-arrested at any time by US agents," he said in the second, released two weeks ago. He claimed to have been tortured.
There was speculation in the US that the videos were attempts to prevent retaliation against his family by the Iranian authorities.
In the second video, recorded to professional standards, the same man talks straight to camera and says he is safe and is studying in the US.
The Iranian authorities said at the end of June they were presenting evidence to the Swiss embassy that Mr Amiri had been abducted, and demanding an investigation by the US authorities.
Last month the CIA chief, Leon Panetta, said Iran had now produced enough low-enriched uranium to make two nuclear weapons within two years.

Re: Holocaust NEVER HAPPENED
I am soooo sick of the Jews forever milking the Holocaust cow !! It was years ago... It's done with !! It's over !! Hitler who ???? Go on to something else.... !!
Look at the crap the American Indians went through. No one cares !! Do the Jews care about the American Indians ??? Nooooooo
The early settlers of America stole the Indians land, scattered them all over the land, and totally ruined their way of life.
Why the hell Israelis are ethnically cleansing the Palestinians (Christians and Muslims)? Why the hell arrogant Israelis are murdering unarmed women and children in their mum's cradle, backyards and schoolyards with US donated "kosher" F18s, Apache Helicopters, cruise missiles, tanks, bomb and bullets? Do they remember the holocaust or is it a milking cow only?
When Theodore Hertzl, the ideological founder of the Zionist movements in the 1890s, was asked what he proposed to do with the indigenous Palestinian population when his "state of the Jews" become a reality, he replied, "We will quietly spirit them across the boarder".
In1923 Vladimir Jabotinsky, leading intellectual of the Zionist movement and father of the right wing of that movement,... wrote: "Zionist colonization must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population - behind an The Iron Wall, which the native population cannot breach."
First published in Russian under the title O Zheleznoi Stene in Rassvyet, 4 November 1923.
Joseph Weitz, the head of the Jewish Agency's colonization department, confirmed this in his 1940 diary." It must be clear", he wrote, "that there is no room for both people together in this country … not one (Arab) village, not one tribe should be left".
If holocaust was true then how come the Israelis are conducting ethnic cleansing of the Arabs (Christians and Muslims)?
The evidence of this ethnic cleansing is clearly demonstrated by these Maps. Yet, will you deny it or recognise it?
The premise of your question reeks of anti-Semitism, making you no better than the rest of those 'arrogant' wingnuts that you seem to embrace.
The Arabs (Muslims and Christians) are Semites. So, how come the ethnic cleansing of the Arabs is not an act of anti-Semitism?

Holocaust NEVER HAPPENED
Jodie,
Please don't be geriatric!
Australian KKK leader and deputy leader were my disciples!
Long time ago I used to hear and read about them in the media. They are disgusting, they are bad, … ! In reality, they were paper tigers, harmless big mouths!!
When I became Secretary/Treasurer of the NSW TDSC of Transport Workers Union, people used to make jokes like Faruque, "it will be exciting if the KKK leaders face you at the same table"!
This is called luck! I have accosted them face to face. They were disrespectful towards me initially. In the long run, they became my disciples and I have discovered that both of them were not true KKK. They took the cover of KKK to combat the Zionist criminals who made attempts to destroy their businesses.
Because of my influence, they modified their racist tones (no offensive statements against Muslims and Blacks) and my neighbors used to be surprised of swastika wearing visitors of mine! They too became easier to them.
Right now, both of them are waiting at the God's waiting room and new brands of White Supremacists are financed by deceitful groups and they are acting desperately. One group of Zio-Nazis are influencing them to be anti-black and anti-Muslim! The other ones are trying to crucify them and expose them.
A secular "lefty" like me managed to modify KKK but not "God's chosen people"! I have been examining your countryman David Duke PHD and I reject many allegations against him. I feel he is a victim of coordinated Zio-Nazi propaganda. I have not heard anyone to refute his claims as they failed to refute me too apart from deliberately and incorrectly saying, " you are an anti-Semite, mislim, …." !
Look at "bruce"! Apart from insanity and profanity he got nothing to contribute.
Recently some Israetards, Israeo-Nazisand Zio-Nazis came to FAN to teach us a lesson! These gas Chambers bound people got their own propaganda groups and these clowns neither respect the principles of free speech nor they are willing to share space with others! They are victims of their own propaganda. I am expressing my anger with "gas chamber"! However, they are operators of Gas chamber without any remorse whatsoever. Please visit groups like ProJewishProZionistGroup,khilafism, … for further understanding.
Most importantly, look at the Israetards, Israeo-Nazis and Zio-Nazis!Look at the history of Israel!! Their styles, practice, action and inaction clearly telling me that holocaust NEVER HAPPENED. Gas chamber did not exist!
Therefore; my little angry expression is no where near the war crimes and genocides continuum of the so called victims of holocaust and their children!

The evil KKK should not be used with the word "honorable"in the same sentence.
The hateful term gas chamber should not be allowed in FAN.
I don't believe we have a place for either of those hateful terms in FAN.
Rev Bill Crews comes across as a tolerant preacher and broadcaster. I have had a few nice conversations with him over the years. I also felt, many “Christians” do not like his style too.
Today, he was trying to start a conversion about Burqa and I rang his radio program after 8.00 PM without any success. However, when I used a different phone, I got through easily and I spoke to his producer. He told me, the board is full and he won’t be able to call me back! I hope it is not a blockade.
Earlier, I was compelled to say, “… Most importantly, Australian media outlets including talk back radios are audaciously manipulative, explicitly restricted, brazenly robotic and drifting from reality … “ in Convicted Genes Oriented Judgment?.
Rev Bill Crews and his staffs may tell us more about this issue anyway.
I made attempts in Burkah, Fear and Paranoia Based on Prejudice and Bigotry, Belgian Prejudice and Bigotryand other forums to say that ignorance, prejudice and bigotry has overtaken the burqa debate and the real people are not getting an opportunity to say anything about this issue or any other issues for that matter as evidenced by my experience. To the best of my knowledge, many decent Muslims have made attempts to communicate with the wider world without a good success and many of them virtually gave up unlike me.
I have been trying to communicate but brick walls and bulldozers are trying to decimate me!
I don’t care whether some one wears a burkah or not. But I do care if some one is forced to wear a burkah I also care if burkah is used to commit any crime. To the best of my knowledge I have not seen any statistics in this regard. However, I have heard can be, could be, may be, might be, … types of supposition, and possibility billions of time. These types of irrational and illogical fear and paranoia based on prejudice and bigotry are prevalent in our society.
The former Prime Minister of Australia John Howard managed to win two un-winnable elections by using fear and paranoia based on prejudice and bigotry. His last bastion was the Northern Territory Intervention at the expense of Aboriginal people. Yet, after all of this vicious and creative propaganda:
1. Not one person was prosecuted for sexual abuse.
2. Not one hospital was built.
3. Not one school was built.
In this occasion, half Israeli Nicolas Sarkozy got many personal and political failures. In order to divert attention from his own shortcomings he has abused and misused the burkah issue. Yet, it is not an issue in the French media. However, burkah is the headline news in some countries including Australia due to the never ending vendetta of some ill-motivated tabloid media and other instrumentalities.
By the way, no one is telling non-Muslims how to dress, eat or behave. Yet every Tom, dick and Harry thinks that they have got some divine rights to tell the Muslims what to do or not to do! Why is it so? May I ask?
Is it because Islam and Arab bashing is the most popular sport in the town?
People who seek moral guidance from the toilet blocks of suburbia scream about the burkah and become self appointed saviors of Muslim women! Isn’t it funny and peculiar?
Anthropologically the pagans, Jews, Christians and many non Muslims used to wear the burkah and still they do to seek protection from the nature and environment. Burkah got many advantages in some environment and it is not a tool of oppression or anything of that nature. It could be a fixation of some people.
So, let’s remove prejudice and bigotry from the burkah debate and think freely.
Many Christians are forcing incestuous relations with their daughters and having children too! Did the Muslims lecture those non-Muslims on how to lead their life?
Why then the non-Muslims are lecturing Muslims based on pure prejudice and ignorance?Published
Message #2.
Many “Australian” women smoke marijuana, sniff heroin, snort cocaine, display their boobs along with their ass and assholes! Do you want Muslims women to those things to be accepted in Australia?
Message #3.
Many “Australians” are telling other Australians to go back to their ancestral lands because they do not like their views or “Middle Eastern” way of life. Why then Australia refuse to reject Middle Eastern religion like Judaism and Christianity? Published
Message #4.
Temple Mount and Covenant of Umar Iare testimony of Islamic tolerance in comparison with many historic tragedies and injustices including Inquisition, Conquistador and misguided Crusades. Surely, removal of prejudice and bigotry will assist some people to understand history beyond propaganda.
Message #4.
Non-Muslim state sponsored terrorism emanating, from cruise missiles, bombers, helicopters, tanks, machine guns, cannons, radio and television stations, newspapers, banks, defense establishments, state and UN instruments in Muslim peoples schoolyards, backyards and Mums’ cradle! Why don’t you stop them first before taking about the so called strap bombs!
Due to absence of opportunity to prosecute Catholics, may be time is right to prosecute Muslims. You see John Howard’s prejudicial and ill-motivated Northern Territory intervention failed to prosecute one person for sexual abuse as well as failed to build one hospital or a school too!
Debacle like this one is not the first and last for the White man and they won’t stop, be that illegal and immoral invasion of Iraq or Burqa Conspiracy. Published

The Europeans used to hate the "Christ Killer Jews". Ironically, the Jews incorrectly and improperly coined it as `anti-Semitism". They are also misusing and abusing this terminology to silence and suffocate the truth!
The Muslims used to provide shelter to the Jews. To day, children of those Jews are paying back to Muslims according to their own tradition i.e. insulting and attacking Muslims and Arabs at every available opportunity.
Today, many Israetards imposed themselves to far too many American, European, … countries! They are basically telling these countries to stop Muslim and Arab immigration and even encouraging expulsion of these groups too. However, at the same time, the same Israetards and Israeo-Nazis are also directly and indirectly assisting/financing/supporting ethnic cleansing of Muslims and Arabs from their own homelands!
Further to Burkah, Fear and Paranoia Based on Prejudice and Bigotry below 30 women out of 600 000 Belgium Muslims wear burqa. To date, neither of them forced to wear these garments, nor did they use burqa to commit any crimes!! Yet, the Belgium authorities are trying to impose the burqa bulldozer legislation against only 30 women!?!
It appears this is another form of prejudice and bigotry against Muslims and Arabs under the guise of Liberation of Women by the enemy of Muslims under the patronage of the Israetards and Israeo-Nazis to pay back old debt to the Muslims and Arabs!!
