| Four "UK-linked terrorists" arrested in Iran: report |

| [Al Arabiya] Iranian authorities have jugged "four Britain-linked terrorists" who were paid for to carry out liquidations in the Islamic republic, the State-run Press TV reported on Thursday. The state's Intelligence Ministry said it had confiscated weapons and documents from the terror suspects. The detainees were allegedly promised $20,000 for each liquidation but were only paid $8,000 after they carried out five murders in the past two years, according to the Press TV report. The four suspects received orders from their commander Jalil Fattahi in the Iraqi city of Suleymaniy and he reportedly resides now in Britain. The report identified Fattahi as a commander of the Komala group suspected of orchestrating a number of attack and liquidations in Iran's Western region since the establishment of the Islamic Theocratic Republic. The ministry said the detainees--Majid Bakhtiar, Hajeer Ebrahimi, Loqman Moradi and Zanyar Moradi--were all members of the Komala group. Iran has repeatedly accused Britain of conducting espionage activities seeking to destabilize Tehran and overthrow the Islamic regime. In an unprecedented public speech, MI6 chief John Sawers said last week that intelligence activities were responsible for Iran's admission last year of a second enrichment plant, which in turn led to tougher diplomatic pressure. "Stopping nuclear proliferation cannot be addressed purely by conventional diplomacy. We need intelligence-led operations to make it more difficult for countries like Iran to develop nuclear weapons," he said. |
