Sadegh Zarza, the 64-year-old former leadership member of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), survived an assassination attempt on Saturday in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden, an attack his family has blamed on the Iranian government.
Dutch police arrested a 38-year-old male Iranian national at the scene and have begun interrogating him as part of their investigation.
According to the Leeuwarden Courant, a former classmate in Iran recently called Zarza in the Netherlands and asked, as a favor, that he provide some assistance to his son who was about to begin studies in Rotterdam. Zarza agreed to meet the son at the Leeuwarden train station.
