Iran has arrested a "network of spies" allegedly linked to Israel's Mossad intelligence service that Tehran blames for the assassination of one of its nuclear scientists last year, its state television reported Monday. "The network of spies and terrorists linked to ... Mossad was destroyed," state television quoted a statement issued by the intelligence ministry as saying. "The network was behind the assassination of Masoud Ali-Mohammadi." A remote-controlled bomb killed the Tehran University scientist in the capital January 12, 2010. Iran blamed the US and Israel for the killing. Washington has denied charges of involvement as "absurd." The statement said Israel had "used some European and non-European countries, as well as some neighboring countries, to lead the assassination," without giving further details. Western sources have said Ali-Mohammadi, a physics professor, worked closely with Mohsen Fakhrizadeh-Mahabadi and Fereydoun Abbassi-Davani, both subject to UN sanctions because of their work on suspected nuclear weapons development.
