Terrorists Recently Captured in Iran Had Support of US: Judiciary
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran’s Judiciary spokesman said the terrorist elements arrested in the country over the past days are proved to have been nurtured by foreigners and benefited from the backing of the US.
The point is that none of the detainees were member of a single, specific terrorist group, but had links with “branches” of different Takfiri groups, Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejei said at a press conference in Tehran on Sunday.
Supports for the arrested terrorists came from outside the country, mainly by the US, he added.
His comments came after the Intelligence Ministry announced on Saturday that it smashed two terrorist cells that had plotted to carry out bombings in two southeastern and northwestern provinces of Iran.
The one busted in the province of Sistan and Baluchestan had plans to insecure roads near the city of Iranshahr by detonating up to 150 kilograms of explosives, an official announced.
