Iran Claims Several Spy Networks Busted

Via tehrantimes.com -

TEHRAN (IRNA) -- A senior Information Ministry official said here Tuesday that several espionage networks have been busted in West Azarbaijan, Kurdestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Hamedan and Tehran provinces.

Talking to reporters, the official added that several members of the networks have also been arrested by the security forces.

The agents of the espionage networks have been identified and nabbed before they could cause a lot of mischief in different parts of the country, he said.

Sabotage, assassination, abduction, and taking photographs and films from important sites were among activities of those espionage networks, the official announced.

Referring to expansion of terrorist activities in Iraq, he regretted that the occupying forces are incapable of establishing security in that war-hit country.

He said the espionage services have promised people, including Iranians living in border areas, to issue visa for them, to let them live in European countries, and give them huge sums of money but they never fulfilled their commitments.

Several agents of those networks are Iranian nationals, he regretted, warning the Iranian nationals living in border areas against the conspiracies of the espionage networks and services.
