Turkey Says Iranian Intelligence Kidnapped Dissident in Istanbul
(Washington Post) Kareem Fahim - Exiled Iranian opposition figure Habib Chaab traveled from his home in Sweden to Turkey in October. Soon after he arrived in Istanbul, Chaab disappeared. Two days later, Iran's state media reported he had been arrested, but provided no details about how he had been taken into custody. A Turkish official now says Chaab was drugged and kidnapped, then smuggled across the border into Iran. Turkey has arrested several people in connection with the abduction. Chaab's disappearance was the third high-profile operation in Turkey in as many years blamed on Iran's government.
