Terrorist cell disbanded in west Iran
[Iran Press TV Latest] Iran has arrested members of a terrorist group that planned to carry out attacks in the west of the country, says the Iranian interior minister. Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar said on Tuesday that members of the group, which had entered the western province of Kurdistan to carry out terrorist attacks across Iran, were arrested by Intelligence Ministry forces "before they could make a single move." "A large number of arms, maps and confidential documents were confiscated from the terrorist group," Mohammad-Najjar said without identifying the group. Iranian security forces often clashes with members of the Party of Free Life of Kurdistan (PJAK), an offshoot of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), along its western border with Iraq. The PKK is recognized as a terrorist group by Turkey, Iran, Iraq, the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations. The group has been responsible for a number of fatal bombings in western Iran and southern Turkey over the past few years. Posted by: Fred 2010-04-21 |
