PressEsc - Iran captures three CIA agents: "Iranian police have captured three CIA operatives in the Iranian border town of Zaheda, unconfirmed reports coming out of Iran said. But officials in both Iran and US remain tight-lipped about the incident.

Eyewitnesses in Zaheda, the capital of Sistan & Balochestan province just 20km from the Afghan border, report that the police raided an abandoned hut about 5km away from the town centre after receiving a tip-off from a group of Baluchi tribesman. Two of the men were described as Caucasian and the other of African origin.

According to sources within the Iranian police, the three operatives were interrogated at an undisclosed location in Zaheda before being transferred to Iran. It is alleged that the three agents entered Iran from Afghanistan to lay the groundwork for the planned US invasion of Iran in June."
