Report: Iranian opposition leaders arrested

A website associated with the Iranian opposition reported that two opposition leaders, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karubi, have been placed under house arrest in the north of the country by Iranian intelligence services.

This follows an earlier report from the official Iranian news agency IRNA that the two had fled Tehran to the north after increasing calls to put them on trial following the riots that took place in Iran at the beginning of the week. (Dudi Cohen)
