New Details on US Terror Network
The Information Ministry on Saturday issued a communiquĊ½ releasing new details about discovering and busting a terrorist group affiliated to the US.
According to IRNA, the statement noted that intelligence officials foiled the terrorist group and gained valuable information about its organization in America.
“The Information Ministry discovered reliable documents pertaining to special centers in the US and Israel, and their cooperation with anti-Iran terrorist networks. Complementary investigation about the group, which officially has an anti-religious stance, is continuing. Results will be made available to the people of Iran in a few days,“ the statement noted
It also said that in tandem with the interrogations, international legal and diplomatic measures will be taken against the US and UK by “competent centers“.
The statement underlined that evidence showed that the US had equipped the group with chemicals, explosives and cyanide.
“The group is responsible for the recent explosion in Shiraz mosque. In this merciless crime, several innocent children of Iran were injured or martyred,“ it said.
The communiquĊ½ also recalled that the terrorist group intended to plant bombs in the Tehran International Book Fair and a few scientific, educational and religious centers, and also create insecurity in the densely-populated cities of the country.
It also said the members of the terrorist network were identified and arrested in Fars, Khuzestan, Gilan, West Azarbaijan and Tehran provinces on May 7.
“One member of the group was killed during the operations and other members are under custody,“ it said.
The announcement emphasized that the main goal of the group was to create fear and intimidation.
“Terrorist acts against the Russian Consulate in Gilan and explosion of oil pipelines in southern Iran were also among their targets. That’s why American centers had planned scuba diving training for the group to target undersea oil pipelines in the Persian Gulf,“ it said.
