Israeli 'network of spies...destroyed'
[JPOST] - Iranian state television announces arrests related to January 2010 assassination of nuclear scientist Masoud Alimohammadi.

Iran has arrested a "network of spies" linked to the Mossad intelligence service it claimed planned the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientist in 2010, Reuters reported.

"The network of spies and terrorists linked to...Mossad was destroyed," Iranian state television reported citing a comment released by the intelligence ministry. "The network was behind the assassination of Masoud Alimohammadi."

Alimohammadi, a university scientist, was killed when a bomb attached to a motorcycle detonated outside his home in Tehran on January 12 last year. According Iranian state-run Press TV, 50-year-old Alimohammadi had just left his house on his way to work when the explosion went off. This was the first of three assassination attempts to occur to Iranian professors working in the nuclear field in 2010.
No doubt eventually we'll learn if the arrestees were members of the Iranian Jewish community, people connected to Iran's nuclear effort, or rebels of one sort or another against the Mullahs.
Update at 1140 CT: Roooters has more here. Remember Iran, every other man named 'Mahmoud' is an evvvvil Zionist spy.
