The Iranian Legation has claimed that the outlaws belonging to
Mahmud Khan attacked the neighboring villages and (5) Iranian
individuals who came to Iraq to visit Sheikh Hussam al-Din and stayed
for a period in a cave located in Iraqi territory until they were able,
when the opportunity arose, to escape to Iranian territory.
But it appeared that the attack took place during their departure. The
aforementioned Legation requested the arrest of the said outlaws
and their extradition.
It appears from this response of the Administration that
the case mentioned therein is the same case
about which the correspondence was detailed in the Administration's letter
S (758), in which the Iraqi ⟦Consul⟧ mentioned to his Iranian colleague
that the investigation proved the incident occurred
in Iranian territory, not in Iraqi territory,
and it did not show that any of the outlaws were in Iraqi territory.
We submit the result to take necessary action along with the correctness of the statements of Justice and Police.

The two mentioned outlaws arrested the aforementioned persons; however, they released

a mountain located near the village of Kridanah and imprisoned them in a cave where Muhammad Rida Bek and Muhammad Taqi Bek,
