Defector Accuses Iran of Running Sleeper Cells in Gulf
[AFP] Iran runs a network of agents in the six Arab monarchies of the Gulf that could be used to destabilize the region, a senior defector charged in an interview published in Dubai on Monday. Adel al-Assadi, who was consul general in Dubai before defecting in 2001, said Shiite Iran's Revolutionary Guards started to set up the sleeper cells right after the 1979 Islamic revolution in Tehran. "Tehran has enough manpower to destabilize the GCC countries, which is bad news," said Assadi, who now lives in Sweden.
