Ahmadinejad allies arrested for using black magic
Close allies of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have been accused of using supernatural powers to help institute his policies amid a bitter power struggle between him and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Several people said to be close to the president and his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, have been nabbed in recent days and accused of being "magicians" and invoking djinns.
An Iranian news website, Ayandeh, described Abbas Ghaffari, one of the arrested men, as "a man with special skills in metaphysics and connections with the unknown worlds".
