PanARMENIAN.Net - Iran said on Tuesday, April 10 it had identified
a "major terrorist group" it said was affiliated to Israel and had
arrested some of its members, Reuters reported citing the official
IRNA news agency.
"Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced it has identified a major
terrorist group from the Zionist regime (of Israel) and has arrested
some of its protected operational members inside the country," IRNA
reported without making clear when the arrests had taken place.
The semi-official Fars news agency said the suspects were arrested
"while preparing to carry out terrorist acts", adding that a
considerable number of bombs, machine guns, military and communication
equipments were seized.
Tehran has in the past accused Israel of being behind the killings
of its nuclear scientists.
The Islamic state blamed Israel in January when a nuclear scientist
was killed by a bomb placed on his car by a motorcyclist in Tehran.
Iran denies Western suspicions that its nuclear program has military
goals, saying it is for purely peaceful purposes.
Fars cited the Intelligence Ministry's statement as saying that
further information would be announced later.
