The Iranian state agency IRNA reports that Iranian Press TV channel showed the arrested leader of Djundallah (the soldiers of Allah) Sunni terrorist organization Abdolmalek Rigi. Rigi said USA supplied arms, bombs and telecommunication equipment to his terrorist movement. According to Rigi, US officials affirmed him there were no problems between US and Al-Qaeda and CIA focuses on the support of all anti-Iranian groups and organizations since the intrusion of Americans in Iran is quite difficult to organize.

Rigi shared that during his meetings with CIA agents he was guaranteed total support and promise to provide the base and arms close to Iran. "Such base was going to be established in Manas, close to Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan", Rigi added.

It has to be mentioned that on February 23, 2010 Iranian Air Force made the aircraft, flying from Dubai to Bishkek, urgently stop over in Iran. The security officers detained Abdolmalik Rigi, the leader of Djundallah movement.

The Djundallah sunni terrorist group is accused by Iranian government of organizing several big terrorist acts at Sitan-Beludjistan border province; Djundallah was responsible for terrorist act of October 18, 2009 when 42 people were in Zahedan, including 15 commanders of Islamic revolution guard. Djundallah group, currently based in Pakistan, was established in 2002 for the protection of Beludji ethnic minority group at the south-east of Iran.

US officials deny the statements of Rigi. Commenting on the statement of Geydar Moslehi, the head of Iranian intelligence service, that before the arrest Abdolmalek Rigi spent the last 24 hours at the American military base, John Sullivan, the Speaker of US Department of State, said it was "absurd", RFE-RL reports. "Any statements on cooperation between USA and Djundallah or other terrorist movements are absurd. US concentrates on anti-terrorist operations around the world and delivers support to no terrorist activity" Sullivan said. On the other hand, it is still a secret how Iranian officials were able to get these statements from Rigi.

The statements on secret cooperation between US and Pakistani guerillas were announced several years ago. With the reference to ABC News Lenta.Ru was saying that since 2005 American intelligence service coordinated the operations of Djundallah group, responsible for several acts of violence in Iran. Allegedly, US provided the financial assistance to terrorists from funds, not controlled by President and Congress. The money was delivered to Abdolmalek Rigi through Iranian emigrants. Some sources report that Rigi personally executed several Iranians.
