Iran will soon prosecute alleged members of Al-Qaeda in revolutionary courts, the news network Khabar reported yesterday. The Iranian judiciary announced that while some of the arrested Al-Qaeda members had been repatriated, the rest would be prosecuted in revolutionary courts, which handle national security cases. The report gave no further details on the number and identity of those to be prosecuted and when the trials will be held.
Iran yesterday also condemned the UN Security Council's resolution condemning outside interference in Lebanese politics, saying it saw an Israeli hand in the text. "Whenever Israel is faced with internal tensions, it transfers the tensions outside its borders and threatens different countries such as Syria," Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters. |
