Strange news from Iran....

   ....An important Iranian general has [1]either been kidnapped or has
   defected to a European country. If true, its significance cannot be
   underestimated.

     "This is a fatal blow to Iranian intelligence," said the source,
     explaining that Asgari knows sensitive information about Iran's
     nuclear and military projects. Iran called tens of its
     Revolutionary Guard agents working at embassies and cultural
     centers in Arab and European countries back to Tehran out of fear
     that Asgari might disclose secret information about their
     identities, according to the analyst.

   Kidnapped or defected, whoever he is with had better have top-notch
   security, because it's all but certain that Iranians are frantically
   searching for him, and I doubt their intentions are benign.

     Vinnie, According to Radio Israel Persian Service, As'gari was
     among the highest ranking members of the Islamic Republic's
     Ministry of Defence. They also report that the regime itself
     publicly acknowledges As'gari's disappearance. Apparently As'gari
     had managed to get his immediate family out of Iran before he went
     missing which lends credence to the possibility of him have sought
     political asylum somewhere.

   He's far too valuable to leave alive for long but his threat to the
   regime has a short lifespan. Once he's spilled the beans, the jig is
   up. (Hat tip to [2]The Discerning Texan.)
