'Iran arms smuggler' captured by Nato in AfghanistanA senior Afghan security official in Kandahar said coalition forces had been monitoring the man for some time.
He told the BBC: "Iranian intelligence officers are helping the Taliban and drug dealers in the south. We deal with it every day. This is a known fact now.
"It was the international forces who arrested him. They had been listening to him for some time and monitoring his electronic communications."
Hmm. Electronic surveillance. Probably standard issue in Afghanistan.
And here is the 'money' line:
Earlier this year, it emerged President Hamid Karzai's government had been receiving bags of cash from Iran.
Is it normal for BBC News pieces to not have bylines? Their disclaimer says that they are not responsible for the content of external sites, but the piece includes the name of someone from the BBC. I wonder if they are trying to protect their journalists.
