(June 20, Tehran,Sri Lanka Guardian)Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told religious leaders that American forces wanted to kidnap him on his last trip to Iraq.
Ahmadinejad allegedly made the remark to religious leaders on Thursday during a meeting in the Shia holy city of Qom.
"The president spoke of a frustrated kidnap attempt by the Americans to then transfer him to the United States to later blackmail the Islamic republic to release him," an Islamic legal scholar told the Media.
Tabnak is close to Mohsen Rezaii, the former commander of the Pasdaran or Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
According to Tabnak, Ahmadinejad said "due to prior knowledge of this kidnap attempt, I anticipated my return to Iran and avoided going near the Green Zone."
The so-called Green Zone is Baghdad's heavily-guarded international zone, where US forces and authorities live and work. It is also where the US and other foreign embassies are located.
"The American plot failed due to divine intervention," is what Ahmadinejad reportedly told the religious leaders.
