TEHRAN (Dispatches) - Prosecutor of Kerman Province's General and Revolutionary Courts Dadkhoda Salari said on Tuesday that the terrorist team which plotted to assassinate Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force Commander Major General Qassem Soleimani in Southeastern Iran was disbanded within hours after months of monitoring and control.
"Given the full intelligence superiority of the IRGC intelligence organization and with judicial orders, all the key members of the terrorist team were arrested in less than 10 hours in several different points on Tasou'a and Ashoura days (September 9 and 10),"
He added that the IRGC intelligence organization was monitoring the activities of the terrorist group in and outside the country 6 months before their arrest, noting that their recruitment and training as well as supply of their weapons, ammunition and communication systems were all carried out outside the country and even the equipment had been sent to them from abroad. Yet, the official declined to name any specific country.
