A member of PJAK terrorist group has admitted to the organization's relations with the US government, New York Times reported.
Biryar Gabar, one of 11 members of the group's leadership, said Tuesday that there had been 'normal dialogue' with American officials, declining specifics. One of his bodyguards confirmed the group's officials had met with Americans in Kirkuk last year, the Times reported.

Gabar, who was shown lying on a slab of rock with 27 other guerillas on top of a 3,000m mountain near Iran borders where Iranian military vehicles were at range, also adds that there are diplomatic relations and movements between US government and the Party for Free Life in Kurdistan, otherwise known as PJAK.

Iranian officials have accused the US of supplying the terrorists and using them in a proxy war against their country, a claim that Washington denies. Press TV
