Son of former Revolutionary Guards commander found dead in Dubai
As I noted briefly in an earlier post, the son of a former commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard was found dead in a Dubai hotel room on Sunday. Here are more details on that story. In related news, Iranian officials said they were investigating the death of Ahmad Rezaie, son of Mohsen Rezaie, a senior Iranian conservative politician who ran for president in 2009. Rezaie, the son, was found dead in a Dubai hotel on Sunday and while suicide appears to be the cause of death, Iranian officials have raised suspicions of foul play. Israel was accused of killing a senior Hamas terrorist in a Dubai hotel in 2010.I'm sure Inspector Tamim will get right on the case. But you won't read about it on this blog if you're in Dubai. Heh.
The death of Rezaie was interesting due to the identity of his father, who is wanted by Interpol for his alleged involvement in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, which killed 85 people. He was head of the IRGC at the time of the bombing.
His death could have been caused also by Iranians. Rezaie left for the US in 1998, where he openly criticized his father and the Islamic regime before returning home five years later.
He left Iran again in 2009.
