Albanian police said Wednesday they had thwarted a planned attack by a Tehran-backed "terrorist cell" against opponents of the Tehran regime in the Balkan country last year.
In a statement, police said the group belonged to the elite Quds Force which runs foreign operations for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
This cell "had planned, among other things, a terrorist act foiled in March 2018" targeting a religious celebration of the Bektashi, a Sufi group, in Tirana, the statement said.
The ceremony was attended by members of the exiled Iranian opposition group the People’s Mujahedeen of Iran

On Wednesday police published photos of three Iranians and one

Police declined to confirm whether international arrest warrants had been issued.
Authorities also did not say whether the incident had any connection to Tirana’s decision last year to expel two Iranian diplomats who the US accused of plotting "terrorist attacks" in the Balkan country.
