To confuse and elude the men who were trailing me, I made numerous appointments with important government officials on my home telephone, which I knew was tapped, and laid a false trail. Then I sneaked out of my home early one morning and flew to Zahedan, in southeastern Iran. With me I took a friend, Mirza Hashem Hosseini, and his wife, whose house had been raided and looted by a gang claiming to be Islamic Guards.
