Alwaght- Iranian Intelligence Ministry has announced that it has thwarted a Saudi-operated scheme to carry out terrorist bombing in the Islamic Republic.
According to an announcement by the ministry released on Wednesday, security agents in Iran found and confiscated 23 rigged bombs of the remote-operated kind which “had been brought to the country according to a plot by Saudi Arabian spy agencies to cause disturbances and insecurity in eastern provinces”.
According to the same report, the Intelligence Ministry also found a similar cargo of arms and terror equipment in the western province of Kordestan.
The ministry said the cargo consisted of TNT, C4, explosive kits, 150 electronic triggers, as well as 41 hand grenades, 31 Kalashnikov magazines, 4 RPG rounds, and a number of combat rifles.
It added the cargo belonged to a separatist terrorist group and was discovered in the city of Marivan.
Iranian officials have accused Saudi Arabia of being behind recent disturbances in some parts of Iran.
Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said certain countries are waging a "proxy war" against the Islamic republic via social media and the Internet.
The United States, Britain and Saudi Arabia are behind the recent riots in Iran, he said.
