Tehran, Iran, Mar. 02 – More than ten people have been arrested in connection with a recent spate of bombings in the Iranian city of Ahwaz, situated in the oil-rich south-west province of Khuzestan, the head of the Islamic Republic’s intelligence service announced late Wednesday.

“More than 10 individuals have been arrested in connection with the recent sound bombs and the previous bombings in Ahwaz”, radical Shiite cleric Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ezhei, who heads Iran’s dreaded Ministry of Intelligence and Security told reporters.

“We have obtained documents and ammunition from these individuals and their safehouses have been identified by the intelligence forces”.

He repeated the charge that the attackers were guided from abroad.

A string of top Iranian officials including hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad accused Britain of being behind the bombings.

London has repeatedly denied any involvement in the attacks.
