UN urged to pursue Iran diplomats’ fate - Gayo Lues
With regard to the preparedness voiced by Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the distinguished secretary general of the UN, on the part of the body for a more active role in this regard, I once again would like to call upon him to set up an international fact-finding committee and double efforts to determine the fates of the Iranian diplomats, Salehi said at a conference on Wednesday.
On July 4, 1982, four Iranian diplomats — Ahmad Motevaselian, Seyyed Mohsen Mousavi, Taqi Rastegar Moqaddam and Kazem Akhavan — were kidnapped by a group of Israel-backed gunmen at an inspection post in northern Lebanon.
They were last heard of on June 2008, when the Lebanese Hezbollah Resistance Movement received a report indicating that the diplomats were still alive and in Israeli captivity.
