Iran Arrests 20 Terrorists behind Assassination of N. Scientists
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi announced that the country's security forces have arrested at least 20 terrorists behind the assassination of Iran's nuclear scientists.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Moslehi stated that the arrests were made following the identification of two terrorist groups and through multiple sting operations across the country.
He added that more information about the places where the suspects had been detained will be released in the future.
On Thursday, the Iranian Intelligence Ministry had announced that its forces have managed to arrest the terrorists who had assassinated the country's two nuclear scientists and a policeman.
Security forces arrested assassins of nuclear scientists Majid Shahriari, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan and policeman Reza Qashqaei, the ministry said in a statement.
The criminals are now under the arrest, it said, adding, "The details of the arrest will be made public after lapse of security precaution."
Iran has so far arrested several suspects in relation to the assassination of its scientists.
Western spy agencies, collaborated by the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO), have assassinated several Iranian scientists in the last three years.
In the fifth attack of its kind in two years, terrorists killed a 32-year-old Iranian scientist, Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, and his driver on January 11.
The blast took place on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, who was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
The assassination method used in the bombing was similar to the 2010 terrorist bomb attacks against the then university professor, Fereidoun Abbassi Davani - who is now the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization - and his colleague Majid Shahriari. While Abbasi Davani survived the attack, Shahriari was martyred.
Another Iranian scientist, Dariush Rezaeinejad, was also assassinated through the same method on 23 July 2011.
