Former Iranian Defense Minister, Ali Reza Asghari, has mysteriously turned up missing after a recent visit to Turkey. Asghari has been missing since early February after checking into an Istanbul hotel.
Iran's top cop, Gen. Esmaeil Ahmadi Moghaddam, said they were investigating the fate of missing Defense Minister Asghari and was working closely with authorities in Turkey.
"It is likely that Asghari has been abducted by the Western intelligence services," IRNA quoted the Iranian police general as saying. The general did not elaborate.
Iran has also implied that Israeli intelligence, Mossad may have kidnapped Asghari, as it is alleged he may have information on a missing IAF navigator.
