Tehran, Iran, Oct. 02 Iranian security forces have recently arrested a network of separatists in the Iranian capital Tehran and the oil-rich south-western city of Abadan, state television reported.
The report said that the network was being supported and strengthened by the intelligence apparatuses of certain neighbouring states and a European country which it did not identify.
It accused the separatists of planning to carry out bombings inside Iran.
In February, a bomb exploded at the local governor’s office in Abadan, which is one of the largest cities in the Arab-dominated province of Khuzestan.
A string of top Iranian officials including hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have accused Britain of being behind a spate of bombings in Khuzestan since 2005.
London has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attacks.
