Azerbaijan authorities have arrested 22 people suspected of plotting to attack the Israeli and American embassies in the capital Baku, AFP reported on Wednesday.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards was reportedly behind the plan to attack Israeli and U.S. targets in the country, according to Azerbaijan's national security ministry.

The action was apparently planned as retaliation to the gunning down of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Looks like the right Iranian personnel are being eliminated, or they wouldn't be so peeved and persistent about retaliation.
