Abdolhamid Rigi who is awaiting execution in Iran said on Tuesday that his militant group received orders from the United States to launch terror attacks inside the Islamic republic. Abdolhamid Rigi, brother of shadowy Jundallah (Soldiers of God) group leader Abdolmalek Rigi, told reporters that his brother was an al Qaeda point man in Iran six years ago but that later the group broke off ties with him.
"The United States created and supported Jundallah and we received orders from them," Rigi said in Iran's restive south-eastern city of Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Balochistan province bordering Afghanistan and Pakistan. "They (US officials) told us who to shoot and who not to. All orders came from them. They told us that they will provide us with everything we need like money and equipment."
