Several espionage networks busted

2007/05/30

A senior Intelligence Ministry official said on 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 arrested
before they can do great mischiefs 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 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.
