Iran has claimed it has arrested the "main elements" behind the assassination of two of its nuclear scientists, alleging they were spies working for Israel.
The intelligence ministry said on Thursday it had identified a number of agents affiliated with the "Zionist regime" involved in the January assassination of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan, a key figure at one of Iran's main uranium-enrichment facilities and the 2010 killing of Majid Shariari, a senior nuclear scientist.
Local news agencies published what appears to be a terse statement by the ministry, which does not shed light on the numbers, names or nationalities of those said to be detained nor clarifies where and when they were arrested.
