Foreign Minister Rudy Insanally told the Associated Press on Friday that authorities in Teheran have asked for an official report into the case of Muhammad Hassan Abrahemi.

"I have asked the Ministry of Home Affairs for a full report on the matter," Insanally said. "I am awaiting it and will take it from there."

After firing several shots and disabling a car waiting to take the cleric home, the gunmen grabbed Abrahemi on the night of April 2 outside Georgetown's International Islamic College of Advanced Studies.

Insanally said that Iranian Embassy officials in Venezuela have been in constant contact with him in recent days. An emissary from the mission might be soon in Guyana, but it was not clear when, he said.
