Earlier Kazimi Qummi occupied the post of Iran's general Consol in Harrat, Afghanistan.

Meantime, Iran said yesterday, as reported by its news agency IRNA, that "The Islamic Republic of Iran is deeply concerned about the aftermaths of such irresponsible remarks," by Paul Bremer, the US administrator of Iraq, on Sunday night where he said that the Mojahedin Khalq
Organization (MKO) sympathizers in Iraq, whom the
US-appointed Interim Iraqi Governing Council 'has ordered to leave Iraq
will be sent to three neutral countries, without naming them."

"By making such comments, the Americans prove they are not sincere in
their claims of pioneering the international campaign against
terrorism," Iran said. It added , "Adopting double-standards in campaign
against terrorism, and dividing them into good and bad terrorists
ruins the whole image of the said campaign."
