Iran's
Karroubi moved to unknown location: report
Iranian security forces have shifted opposition leader
Mehdi Karroubi to an unknown location from his
Tehran residence where he was being held under house arrest, his website Sahamnews.org said Monday.
Sahamnews.org said the cleric and his wife were shifted from their home late Thursday, and that the transfer was witnessed by a neighbour.
"We have spoken to a neighbour who witnessed our father and mother being taken out of their house," one of the cleric's children, who was unnamed, was quoted as saying by the website.
Eight security vans stopped in front of Karroubi's home at "
midnight Thursday" and a "few minutes later they all left with another car," according to the neighbour who said the house had since appeared to be vacant.
Iranian authorities had put Karroubi and fellow opposition leader
Mir Hossein Mousavi and their wifes under "complete" house arrest after their supporters staged anti-government protests on
February 14, first such demonstration for a year.
The authorities reportedly completely cut off their communication networks as the two leaders had managed to issue statements to their supporters at regular intervals.
The latest statement by Karroubi was through a video posted on his website on
February 25 in which he vowed to continue his struggle with "determination".
"I hope that we will overcome the current problems," said the former parliamentary speaker in the video address recorded before his complete isolation.
"We must remain determined on the road of our convictions, and I am certain we will succeed," said the cleric.
"
We are committed to the pact we made with the people, to establish the power of the people and
Islam based on elections. And on this road, no trouble, no difficulty is too hard to bear," he said.
Karroubi and
Mousavi remain steadfast in rejecting the 2009 re-election of
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who they say returned to power fraudulently.
The protests shook the pillars of the Islamic regime and divided the nation's elite
Shia clergy.

Officials: 4 dead in UAE plane crash
ABU DHABI,
United Arab Emirates -- The civil aviation authority in the United Arab Emirates says four people were killed when a private plane crashed shortly after takeoff.
A statement by the
General Civil Aviation Authority says the Grumman 21T aircraft went down moments after taking off Sunday at
Al Ain International Airport about 60 miles (
100 kilometers) east of
Abu Dhabi. The plane was en route to
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The aviation authority says the aircraft was destroyed and investigators were at the site.
The statement Monday gave no further details on those killed or the possible cause of the crash.

Libyan leader
Muammar Gaddafi's confidant, described as a "voluptuous blond"
Ukrainian nurse, has deserted the dictator amid violent protests in the country demanding his ouster.
---
Guardian reported that the Ukrainian nurse Galyna
Galyna Kolotnytska alighted in
Kiev on Sunday
on a Ukrainian defense ministry aircraft that flew 185 people out of the
North African country.
Daily Mail had reported that leaked cables by whistle-blower site Wikileaks stated that the Libyan leader relies heavily on the Ukrainian nurse to the extent that he "cannot travel" without her as she alone "knows his routine." The
Wikileaks cable also stated: "A Ukrainian political officer recently confirmed that the Ukrainian nurses 'travel everywhere with the
Leader'."
However, his reliance on his Ukrainian nurse is not his only claim to eccentricity, other fabled ways include his penchant for virgin bodyguards and he is known to carry a giant Bedouin tent during his diplomatic visits, from where he conducts business.
