Iranian bypasses travel ban

By NASSER KARIMI
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

TEHRAN, Iran -- An Iranian Revolutionary Guard general who is banned
from traveling abroad by the U.N. Security Council visited Russia without
any difficulty, Iranian state television reported on its Web site Monday.

Gen. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, who is also deputy interior minister for
security affairs, was one of 15 Iranians listed in U.N. Resolution 1747
that the Security Council approved unanimously in March to punish Iran
for failing to stop enrichment of uranium - a process that can produce
the material for nuclear bombs.

Zolqadr was quoted on the state TV Web site as saying that his six-day
journey to Moscow, which ended Monday, showed "the ineffectiveness
of the resolution."

Zolqadr said he was invited by Russia's Border Guard authorities and that
he discussed cooperation on border control and relief for natural disasters
such as earthquakes. Memorandums of understanding were signed on both
issues, Zolqadr reported.
