Suspected Afghan weapons smuggler "not Iranian guard"
(Reuters) - A suspected weapons smuggler captured in southern Afghanistan is not a member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as first thought, the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said Friday.
The coalition said initial intelligence reports suggested that the man was part of the al-Quds force, which specialises in foreign operations for Iran, but it was later determined he was not a member of the elite unit.
"It was determined that while the individual may be affiliated with several insurgent-related organizations, he is not a member of al-Quds," ISAF said in a statement.
