Malaysia detains Iranian over forged passports
Malaysia police said Wednesday that they have arrested an Iranian man accused of running a passport forging syndicate and believed to have ties with terrorist and human trafficking groups. Fuzi Harun, who heads the federal police anti-terrorism taskforce, said police detained Seyed Ramin Miraziz Paknejad and his wife on Saturday.
Fuzi said Paknejad, 45, was first detained in Thailand last year on suspicion of providing fake passports to human trafficking and drug rings, as well as terrorists who plotted bombings in Bangkok, Harun said. (AP)
