The Missing American

The U.S. media is reporting that a former unnamed FBI agent has disappeared in Iran on the island of Kish. FBI spokesman Rich Kolko suggested, "at this time, there are no indications that this matter should be viewed other than as a missing-person case," and U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said, "we have been monitoring this situation for a couple of weeks now." Citing privacy concerns, McCormack declined to divulge the man's name, age or occupation.

However what is curious, is that the U.S. State Department has also not divulged this information to the Iranian government, the U.S. would be obliged to providing his name, flight details, passport number if they wished Iran to try and locate him. They have thus far failed so to do. Another curious aspect is that it is admitted that this mystery man has previously served in the FBI, which would have precluded him entering Iran, without U.S. approval and would be grounds for arrest and detention if discovered by the Kish authorities.
