Was Rigi's Arrest Staged?

The arrest of Abdolmalek Rigi, the commander of the Jundollah terrorist group, was a big win for Iran's intelligence and security apparatus. It has been reported that Rigi was captured mid-air on a flight from Dubai to Kyrgyzstan, after which his plane was forced to land by Iranian agents. Other accounts hold that Rigi was "flying over the Persian Gulf en route from Pakistan to an unidentified Arab country when his plane was ordered to land inside Iran."

A site run by former reformist Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi offers another a different account entirely. According to Kharazi's IRDiplomacy.ir, Rigi was actually arrested with assistance from Pakistan while "he was in hospital." Tehran Bureau offers one explanation for the inconsistency in what is being reported:

It is entirely plausible that the Iranians, desperate to show that their intelligence agency has both the capacity to find its targets wherever they may be and the power to force foreign planes to land in its territory, asked the help of the Pakistanis in staging the entire incident. It is very possible that the Pakistan government now sees Jundollah as a liability, and has decided to remove the organization from its soil. This makes much more sense than the version of the capture that involves forcing Rigi's aircraft to land in Iran. If the operation was not staged, there would have been a huge outcry from the foreign nation where the plane is owned. However, not a sound has been heard from any other country about a forced landing. It appears quite possible that if any plane was involved, it was an Iranian one.
