Iran says arrests 50 suspected of links to militant groups
DUBAI - Iranian authorities have rounded up at least 50 people suspected of links to militant groups in a Western province, a prosecutor said on Sunday, the latest in a wave of arrests following twin bomb and gun attacks in Tehran in early June.
"Since the terrorist attacks in Tehran, more than 50 supporters and elements linked to terror groups have been arrested in Kermanshah province," provincial prosecutor Nemat Sadeqi told the state news agency IRNA.
"An appreciable number of suicide belts, electronic detonators, and weapons have been seized from the detainees," IRNA quoted Sadeqi as saying.
