"We could not do anything other than the attack, our family is under heavy pressure from the Iranian government." Amir S. (38) and his wife Nasimeh N. (33) hope to understand our security services. On Saturday, the couple was intercepted in Sint-Pieters-Woluwe with a ready-to-use bomb in their suitcase. He had to explode in Paris a few hours later, at a meeting of opponents of the Iranian regime.
"Never before have we been so close to a terrorist attack and could we still defeat it," welcomes the federal prosecutor. Thanks to State Security, who quickly and efficiently evaluated a tip from foreign colleagues. This trick brought Amir S. and his wife Nasimeh N. both as a political refugee of Iran in Belgium and at the same time nationalized. He would work in the port of Rotterdam, she in a department store in Antwerp. They live in an apartment on Boomsesteenweg in Wilrijk.
On Saturday, the couple from Sint-Pieters-Woluwe was intercepted in their Mercedes by special police units. In the car, there was a toilet bag containing 500 grams of explosives and an ignition mechanism. Ready to work
25,000 participants
Amir and Nasimeh were immediately beaten. Their home in Wilrijk, a second address in Boom and three locations in Uccle, Bergen and Leuze-en-Hainaut were searched. If there was more explosive found, the dish did not want to lose yesterday. What is certain, it is the target. The couple admitted during the interrogation that they were targeting the annual meeting of the mujahideen of the Iranian people (MEK) in Villepinte, near Paris.
The MEK has been fighting the Tehran regime since 1965, the movement has been banned in Iran since 1981. Striking: Amir claims that he is an active supporter of MEK. So the question was why he would support his followers. "The government is pressuring my family in Iran," was his explanation. "We could not help but accept their plan to disrupt the MEK meeting in Paris."
25,000 people were expected at the event. Among them, Rudolph Giuliani, former mayor of New York, Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird, and Bernard Kouchner, former French Minister and co-founder of Médecins Sans Frontières. Every action in the hall would reach the world press. In my own words, it was only the intention to make the meeting on stilts. Amir and Nasimeh say that they did not know that they were carrying a bomb.
Diplomat arrested
Amir and Nasimeh tell the truth? Or are they terrorists trying to avoid punishment by concocting that they are the bullet of the Iranian security services? At this moment, the Belgian court seems inclined to believe the couple. For several reasons. MEK has been a thorn in the face of the Tehran regime for years. Earlier this year, Iranian President Hassan Rohani called on his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, to finally act against the "terrorist group that has been upsetting Iran for weeks with protests from France "
. The researchers picked up an Iranian diplomat from the embassy in Vienna on Sunday night in Germany. Assodollah A. (47) would be part of the Iranian secret service MONTH. He reportedly prepared the operation in Paris and provided the explosives in the car
The Belgian security services are talking about state terrorism. Iran denies any involvement. The research will have to bring clarity.
