Several terrorists detained during Muharram: Iran Intelligence Minister
Iranian Intelligence Minister Seyyed Mahmoud Alavi has said several terrorist plots were thwarted during the holy month of Muharram.
On Monday, he said that several people with plans to launch terror attacks in multiple locations across the country were identified and detained by Iran’s Intelligence Ministry since the beginning of Muharram. Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, marks the martyrdom anniversary of the grandson of prophet Mohammad and his companions.
Alavi added that most of the detained terrorists did not belong to any group and were working independently.
