Former FBI agent missing in Iran STILL ALIVE

Four years ago, former FBI agent Levison disappeared while investigating a cigarette smuggling ring. Previously, the US lacked information about whether he was alive or dead. It is still unclear who, or where he is being held, but proof of life is a hopeful sign. Levison’s condition was especially dire because he is diabetic and has high blood pressure.

No details about the nature of proof of life have been released to the public, because it could complicate Levison’s release. Previously, Iran denied any knowledge as to the where about’s of the former agent. However, now, President Ahmadinejad is backpedaling and being circumspect.
Since Iran shares a border with Pakistan and Afghanistan it is possible he was shuttled into one of those countries. There are known smuggling routes along the borders of both countries.
