TEHRAN, Dec 3 (NNN-TASNIM) – Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said yesterday, its intelligence forces have arrested four individuals, involved in an assassination of a police officer in the north-western city of Sanandaj.
The IRGC’s intelligence service, in the north-western province of Kurdestan, announced in a statement that, in addition to the seizure of four suspects, accused of the assassination of a police officer, Hassan Yousefi, a number of other individuals behind the recent “unrest” in the province, have also been identified and intelligence measures are underway to arrest them.
The statement did not provide further details about the identity of the arrested, and the date of their seizures, but warned “those seeking to disrupt the (Iranian society’s) security and order,” of the IRGC’s “decisive” response.
On Nov 17, Yousefi was killed by “rioters” in a stabbing attack.
A number of Iranian police and security forces have been killed in recent “riots,” which Tehran blamed on the United States and some other countries, which are responsible for “inciting riots and supporting terrorists” in the country.– NNN-TASNIM
