Terrorist Cell Disbanded in Fars Province


TEHRAN -- Iranian security forces have disbanded a Takfiri terrorist group that sought to carry out simultaneous terrorist attacks in several provinces in cooperation with intelligence services of two European and regional countries, head of the Department of Justice in the southern Fars Province said Monday. Kazem Mousavi said that 11 members of the Takfiri terrorist group’s main nucleus were identified and arrested in Fars while 25 others were detained in six eastern and western Iranian provinces in a joint operation by the Intelligence Ministry and security forces. He added that the terrorists had released video clips in the cyberspace with the purpose of causing fear and noted that large amounts of ammunition and weapons have been confiscated from them too. Mousavi said the group’s ringleaders have been identified in foreign countries.
