"The United States brought Rigi into Afghanistan without the knowledge of the Afghan people and provided fake Afghan documents for him," Ahmadinejad said in a joint press conference with his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai in Kabul on Wednesday.
"The presence of Rigi in Afghanistan does not concern the Afghan government as Rigi traveled to every country in pursuit of his (terrorist) goals," he added.
Referring to the US's collaboration with Rigi in materializing his terrorist goals, Ahmadinejad stressed that American officials are entangled in a double-standard policy in fighting terrorism.
He reiterated that Iran managed to arrest Abdolmalek Rigi after intensive and long term intelligence and security operations while the US with all its tools and equipments has had no major achievement in the campaign against terrorism in Afghanistan.
Iran announced in late February that it had arrested Abdolmalek Rigi as he was traveling to Bishkek to meet a high-ranking US official at a nearby military base.
In his confessions, Rigi stated that they were going to discuss new terrorist attacks on Iranian territory.
"After Obama was elected, the Americans contacted us and they met me in Pakistan. They met us after (Iranian forces') clashes with my group around March 17 in (the southeastern city of) Zahedan and he (the US operative) said that Americans had requested a meeting," he said.
"They (Americans) said they would cooperate with us and will give me military equipment, arms and machine guns," Rigi stated, adding, "They also promised to give us a base along the border with Afghanistan next to Iran."
The Jundollah's ringleader then revealed the US plot for supporting all the anti-Iran terrorist groups, saying, "One of the CIA officers said that it was too difficult for us to attack Iran militarily, but we plan to give aid and support to all anti-Iran groups that have the capability to wage war and create difficulty for Iran's (Islamic) system."
Jundollah is responsible for several other terrorist operations which killed tens of citizens and security forces. In 2007, Jundollah kidnapped 30 people in Sistan and Balouchestan province. They were freed during a Pakistani police operation after abductors took them to the country.
Jundollah claimed responsibility the same year for an attack on an Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) bus in which 11 IRGC personnel were killed.
In its latest crime in October, the Pakistan-based terrorist group, closely affiliated with the notorious al-Qaeda organization, claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in the southeastern Sistan and Balouchestan province which killed 42 people among them a group of senior military commanders, including Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) ground force Brigadier General Nourali Shoushtari.
