Wash Times:
A former commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the FBI says played a role in a 1996 terrorist attack that killed 19 U.S. servicemen, accompanied Iraq’s prime minister to the White House on Monday, attending an event at which President Obama trumpeted the end of the Iraq War.
Hadi Farhan al-Amiri, transportation minister in Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s government, was part of the delegation that visited the White House to discuss Iraq’s future and Iran’s influence there, among other topics.White House spokesman Tommy Vietor declined to confirm whether Mr. al-Amiri was part of the Iraqi delegation. He referred questions to theIraqi government.
Mr. al-Maliki’s office listed Mr. al-Amiri as a member of the delegation. A spokesman for the Iraqi Embassy was unavailable to elaborate on Mr. al-Amiri’s role in the White House visit.
Louis J. Freeh, who served as FBI director in the Clinton administrationand the early months of the George W. Bush administration, said it was shocking that Mr. al-Maliki would include Mr. al-Amiri in his visit to Washington.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has been involved in “countless acts of terrorism, which are acts of war against the United States,” Mr. Freehsaid in an interview
Mr. al-Amiri served as a commander of the Revolutionary Guard’s Badr Corps, a battalion that was tasked with operations in Iraq. He remained active in the Badr Corps during the late 1980s and 1990s, when he was working on resistance efforts against Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq.
The FBI linked the Revolutionary Guard to the attack on the Khobar Towers in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, on June 25, 1996. Nineteen U.S. servicemen were killed by a bomb blast at the towers, which were housing American military personnel.
“As a senior leader, [Mr. al-Amiri] would have to have known aboutKhobar, and he would know Gen. [Ahmad] Sherifi, who was the IRGCgeneral that conducted the operation,” Mr. Freeh said.
He added that the “FBI would love to sit down and talk to him, show him photographs and ask him questions” about the fugitives named in theKhobar Towers indictment.
What sorts of morons are advising these amateurish, ideological FOOLS in charge of the USA?
AT LEAST BE COMPETENT.
MAKE THIS GUY DISAPPEAR. SO SORRY, WHERE IS HE? Maybe he found some chick.
SEND A MESSAGE.
IRGC murderers are not safe in the USA. No matter who they are, or who they come with, and if they are brought in by so called friends, ….we have some question about our aid.
At least arrest him and deport him PUBLICLY, all cameras on, and embarrass the living hell out of the Iraqis.
