Iran arrests four 'Britain-linked terrorists' accused of carrying out assassinations

2010-11-04 14:04:53 GMT+7 (ICT)

TEHRAN (BNO NEWS) -- Iran on Thursday said it has arrested four 'Britain-linked terrorists' who are accused of carrying out five assassinations in the last two years, state-run media reported.

Iran's Intelligence Ministry announced the arrests, according to Iran's Press TV, which said authorities had disclosed documents and confiscated weaponry from the alleged group of terrorists.

The ministry said the group admitted they were promised 20,000 U.S. dollars for each assassination that they carried out, but said they only received 8,000 dollars after accomplishing their mission.

Press TV reported that the group confessed to getting orders from their commander Jalil Fattahi in the Iraqi city of Suleymaniye. Fattahi, who reportedly resides in the United Kingdom, is said to be a commander of the Komala terrorist group which has been accused of carrying out several assassinations in the western cities of Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

Iran identified the detainees as Majid Bakhtiar, Hajeer Ebrahimi, Loqman Moradi and Zanyar Moradi, but did not reveal their nationalities. They reportedly admitted that Fattahi gave them the assassination orders in Suleymaniye and then delivered weapons and cash on the Iran-Iraqi border.

Iran's Intelligence Ministry accused Britain of not only carrying out secret espionage activities in the country, but also claimed it funds and supports certain terrorist groups which are plotting against the Islamic Republic.
