Iran Identifies, Arrests Terrorists behind Assassination of N.

Iran announced that its intelligence forces identified and arrested all terrorist elements behind the assassination of the country's nuclear scientists.

In a statement published Thursday, the Iranian Intelligence ministry announced that "all the elements involved in the assassinations of the country's nuclear scientists have been identified and arrested."

"A number of countries, whose territories and facilities had been misused by the Mossad-backed terrorist teams, have provided the Iranian officials with relevant information," the statement added.

It further added that "over the course of the investigations, all other elements behind the assassinations of the Iranian scientists Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, Majid Shahriari and Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan as well as Reza Qashqaei (Roshan's driver) have been apprehended."

"Some of the perpetrators of the assassination of Dr. Fereydoun Abbasi, the current head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, are among those arrested," the ministry added.

According to the statement, the ministry has detected some of Mossad's bases within the territories of one of Iran's Western neighbors, which provided training and logistic support to the terrorist networks.

Earlier this month, Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi had announced that the country's security forces have arrested at least 20 terrorists behind the assassination of Iran's nuclear scientists.

Moslehi stated that the arrests were made following the identification of two terrorist groups and through multiple sting operations across the country.

Iran has so far arrested several suspects in relation to the assassination of its scientists.
