Iran says arrests 50 suspected of links to militant groups

DUBAI, Jun 25 (Reuters) Iranian authorities have rounded up at least 50 people suspected of links to militant groups in a Western province, a prosecutor said today, the latest in a wave of arrests following twin bomb and gun attacks in Tehran in early June. The arrests have been made days after Iranian Revolutionary Guards fired missiles from western Iran into eastern Syria, aimed at bases of the Islamic State which had claimed responsibility for the June 7 attacks in the capital Tehran that killed 18 people.

"Since the terrorist attacks in Tehran, more than 50 supporters and elements linked to terror groups have been arrested in Kermanshah province," provincial prosecutor Nemat Sadeqi told the state news agency IRNA.
