And if you knew it consisted of half a kilogram of TATP, a homemade explosive that is \u201cvery sensitive to heat, friction, and a shock\u201d according to Belgium\u2019s bomb disposal unit (DOVO)? Probably not, primarily if you could have known that the bomb would destroy a police remote anti-bomb robot and injure a Belgian police official standing a hundred meters away just one week later in Brussels.<br \/>\nBut 240 people on board the Austrian airlines flight on June 22, 2018, from Tehran to Vienna were not aware: the same bomb was on board in a diplomatic suitcase belonging to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iranian-diplomat-and-three-accomplices-on-trial-for-planned-bombing-of-a-massive-rally-in-paris\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Assadollah Assadi<\/a>, third counselor in the Iranian regime\u2019s embassy in Vienna. Assadi was returning hurriedly to Vienna on a deadly mission he had to carry out in Europe.<br \/>\nSix days later, in a Luxembourg Pizza Hut, Assadi handed over the bomb to two operatives working with him since 2012. He also gave the couple \u20ac12000 as a down-payment for the operation.<br \/>\nAssadi had previously recruited the couple, Nasimeh Noami and Amir Saadouni, to spy on the Iranian opposition organization <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/pmoi-mek\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MEK<\/a>. In March 2018, in a short meeting on a train in Salzburg, Assadi had told them he wanted a field operation to be undertaken by them: bombing the big gathering of the Iranian Resistance in Villepinte, north of Paris, on June 30.<br \/>\nThe main objective was <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/maryam-rajavi\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maryam Rajavi<\/a>, president-elect of the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about-ncri\/alternative\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Council of Resistance of Iran<\/a>, supposed to speak at the gathering. Scores of high-ranking dignitaries were also attending.<br \/>\nAssadi took the bomb, in his car, with his two sons and his espouse, from Vienna to Luxembourg. Himself an explosives expert, it was customary for him to carry the risk, even in the family. Their diplomatic passports were supposed to protect them against all inspections in case of trouble. After having handed the bomb to the two operatives, the happy family was stopped by Luxembourg police for an identity check, where they produced their diplomatic passports to avoid trouble.<br \/>\nBut two days later, when the German police stopped them just short of the Austrian border, the game was over.<br \/>\nThe Belgian police had arrested the couple on June 30, and their \u201cbomb\u201d had exploded when a Dovo robot tried to defuse it, well before it would reach the grand meeting, which was its objective.<br \/>\nHaving strolled freely through several European countries, the \u201cdiplomat\u201d was still sure he could easily get away given his diplomatic status. The same illusion was shared by the mullahs\u2019 regime foreign ministry.<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/blog\/op-ed\/iran-regime-godfather-of-terror\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Javad Zarif<\/a>, the mullah\u2019s foreign minister, dismissed the affair as a \u201cfalse flag\u201d operation by those trying to drive a wedge between Tehran and the West. The regime called Assadi\u2019s arrest \u201cfundamentally illegal.\u201d<br \/>\nSo much sure they were of the outcome that they summoned the French, the Belgian, and the German ambassadors in Tehran to the foreign ministry to officially protest the arrest of their \u201cdiplomat.\u201d The mullahs\u2019 deputy foreign minister told the three ambassadors that \u201cthe Iranian diplomat arrested in Germany should be released immediately according to impunity articles of the Vienna Conventions.\u201d<br \/>\nGerman courts had no ear for such claims. During more than two months, the mullahs went all the way through the German judicial hierarchy to fight the eventual extradition of Assadollah Assadi to Belgium, to no avail. Assadi was handed to the Belgian judiciary on October 9, 2018, to stand trial.<br \/>\nIt took more than two years of investigation to bring to light aspects of the drama. On November 27, Assadi and the couple Saadouni-Noami and a third accomplice are to stand trial in Antwerp, Belgium.<br \/>\nThe mullahs\u2019 regime has, however, followed along its trail of claiming \u201cdiplomatic immunity\u201d for its diplomat-terrorist. When they saw it did not work, they reverted to threats.<br \/>\nAccording to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/iran-plot-france-int-idUSKBN26U28N\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reuters<\/a>, during questioning in March, Assadi threatened the Belgian police. He said armed groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria, as well as in Iran, were interested in the outcome of his case and would be \u201cwatching from the sidelines to see if Belgium would support them or not.\u201d<br \/>\nThe mullahs\u2019 foreign ministry\u2019s spokesman followed much on the same path, saying: \u201cWe consider the lack of respect for Assadi\u2019s diplomatic status and his standing trial in Belgium an unacceptable precedent. We consider all countries implicated in this case as violators of our diplomatic rights.\u201d<br \/>\nThe spokesman had his share of menacing: \u201cWe reserve the right to retaliate appropriately.\u201d<br \/>\nThe bold yet dumb position of the mullahs\u2019 regime reflects the consequences of an erroneous policy followed by the West vis-\u00e0-vis the mullahs for at least three decades. Although the mullahs have undertaken scores of terrorist operations against dissidents and other countries\u2019 interests in the past, in several cases, the police apprehended their \u201cdiplomats,\u201d never have they stood trial. In all cases, the culprits were permitted to slip through justice\u2019s fingers.<br \/>\nDr. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/president-elect\/dr-kazem-rajavis-assassination-to-be-investigated-in-the-context-of-genocide-crime-against-humanity\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kazem Rajavi<\/a>, the Resistance\u2019s representative in Switzerland, was gunned down in Geneva in 1990 by 13 people who came to the country on mission passports and fled back home the next day. Two of the gang were arrested in 1991 in France, but the latter sent them to Iran despite formal Swiss demand of extradition.<br \/>\nMullahs\u2019 embassies in Italy, Germany, Austria, Holland, the UK, Scandinavia, Turkey, and several other European countries engage systematically in terrorism. Still, to this day, no direct agent or \u201cdiplomat\u201d has stood trial in any country.<br \/>\nThe reason the mullahs seem not to understand the change is that they are so used to the three-decade-long kowtowing they tend not to understand the boot is on the other leg now.<br \/>\nThis a regime which takes a right to immunity as the right to carry bombs on passenger airplanes, on the highways, and place them where they can endanger scores of innocent lives.<br \/>\nThe first step by the West should be, apart from legal venue, to curb the role and freedom of action of the mullahs\u2019 embassies and official representatives in Europe. Mullahs\u2019 diplomats, beginning with the foreign minister Javad Zarif, should be put on sanction lists preventing them from moving freely around.<br \/>\nThis is an efficient way to curb terrorism.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stats.sender.net\/forms\/dGYVLa\/view\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-300x100\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-219239 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Weekly-Signe-up-logo-300x100.png\" alt=\"Weekly-Signe-up-logo-300x100\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Would you take a commercial flight from Tehran to Vienna if you knew there was a powerful bomb on board without the crew ever knowing it?
