Sounds like somebody is not quite telling the truth on this .

A missing Iranian nuclear scientist, who Tehran says was kidnapped a year ago by the CIA, has taken refuge in the Iran section of Pakistan's US embassy.
A spokesman from Pakistan's Foreign Office, Abdul Basit, told the BBC that Shahram Amiri was seeking immediate repatriation to Iran.
In June videos purportedly of Mr Amiri but containing contradictory information on his whereabouts emerged.
The US rejected Tehran's claims that it was behind Mr Amiri's disappearance.
Iranian media say Mr Amiri worked as a researcher at a university in Tehran, but some reports say he worked for the country's atomic energy organisation and had in-depth knowledge of its controversial nuclear programme.
ABC News reported in March that he had defected and was helping the CIA, revealing valuable information about the Iranian nuclear programme.
But earlier this month, Tehran said it had proof he was being held in the US.
The allegation came after three videos purportedly of Mr Amiri emerged - the first said he had been kidnapped, the second that he was living freely in Arizona, and the third that he had escaped from his captors.

US shuts embassy as al-Qaeda 'plans attack in Yemen'
What the hell do we even have an embassy in Yemen for ?
....BBCThe US has indications that al-Qaeda is planning an attack in the Yemeni capital Sanaa, President Barack Obama's top counter-terrorism adviser has said.
John Brennan was speaking after the US and UK announced their embassies in Sanaa had temporarily closed.
The US has accused a Yemen-based offshoot of al-Qaeda of being behind the alleged Christmas Day bomb attempt on a US jet flying to Detroit.
There are mounting fears that Yemen is becoming a leading al-Qaeda haven.
Mr Brennan, the US Deputy National Security Adviser for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, told ABC's This Week TV programme that the group had "several hundred members" in Yemen and was posing an increasing threat there.
"This is something that we've known about for a while," he said. "We're determined to destroy al-Qaeda, whether it's in Pakistan, Afghanistan, or in Yemen."
Mr Brennan added: "We know that they have been targeting our embassy, our embassy personnel."

41 Killed at Indian Embassy in Kabul
I wonder if the bombing has anything to do with the land transfer to a Hindu shrine in Kashmir. National Post
....
KABUL (Reuters) - A Taliban suicide car bomb hit the Indian Embassy in Kabul on Monday, killing 41 people and wounding 141, in an attack Afghan authorities said was coordinated with foreign agents in the region, a likely reference to Pakistan.
Afghanistan has accused Pakistani agents of being behind a number of attacks in recent weeks and Afghan President Hamid Karzai last month threatened to send troops across the border to attack militants there if Pakistan does not take action.
The bomber rammed his car into the embassy just as two diplomatic vehicles were entering the compound."The target was the diplomatic vehicles. They were trying to get inside the embassy when the suicide car bomber attacked them," he said.
India's military attache was killed, the Indian Defense Ministry said. Two vehicles were destroyed, the embassy gates blown off and buildings inside the compound were badly damaged by the force of the blast, an Indian diplomat said.
"The Interior Ministry believes this attack was carried out in coordination and consultation with an active intelligence service in the region," the Afghan Interior Ministry said.
A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.
