Alleged spies say Iran’s Revolutionary Guards trained them (Video)

KABUL (PAN): Afghan security forces have detained two individuals in Kabul on charges of spying for Iran and remote-controlled bomb devices were recovered from them. Syed Kamal and Syed Hussain confessed in a video tape, available to Pajhwok Afghan News, to having links with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. Kamal said he migrated to Iran in 1996 and joined a military base of the Sipah-i-Pasdaran for training. The same year when the mujahideen government was toppled by the Taliban, the Iranian government tasked him creating a party of Afghan refugees in Iran under the name of “Sipah-i-Mohammad.” He said they went to Mashhad to register Afghan refugees for training by the Iranian military. On completion of training, the Afghans were sent to their home country for disruptive activities, he added. “As a member of Sipah-i-Mohmmad, I was sent to northern Takhar province for military activities in 2000. I came to Kabul after the collapse of the Taliban regime,” the detainee said. About two months ago, Kamal said, a member of the group, Haji Mohsin, handed him a bag including four remote-controlled devices. The devices had multiple functions, including the one that could detonate 10 bombs at a time from a distance of five kilometres. PAJHWOK
