Iran: We've arrested spies for Israel
The Jerusalem Post ^ | Apr 26, 2009 | Staff

Iranian authorities have arrested a group of people linked to Israel who are suspected of planning bombings ahead of the Islamic republic's presidential election on June 12, Reuters cited the country's intelligence minister as saying on Sunday.

"A group of deceived elements... who wanted to carry out explosions, particularly before the June election, was arrested," Intelligence Minister Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei was quoted as telling Iranian radio.

State radio did not say how many people had been arrested or give any other details.

Iran often accuses Israel and the United States of seeking to undermine the Islamic republic. Last year, an Iranian businessman was hanged after he was convicted of spying on the military for the Jewish state.

Kinda like the American journalist they are holding now. Freakin cowards have their human shields to protect their nuclear facilities.

I doubt that any Israeli activity (and frankly I hope they do devise a way to bring down Iran’s nuke infrastructure) would be clumsy enough for those Moose barbarians to catch.

Oh they get caught once in a while.

Generally go to their death.

Read “Our man in Damascus”
the story of an Israeli spy in Syria.

I will bet their treatment in that wonderful dunecoon country’s prison will not be to comfortable, something a bit more ‘painful’ than playin’ pig pile or wearin’ panties on their soon to be sawed of heads.

“On Thursday, Lebanon charged a retired general, his wife and his nephew, a government security agent, with spying for Israel.
The general and his wife were arrested on April 11, and their nephew was detained several days later, said Lebanese security officials said.

Authorities were still searching for a fourth suspect who, together with the family members, provided information to Israel about Lebanese and Syrian military and civilian installations, according to charges filed by Saqr Saqr, the military prosecutor. “

That’s interesting

"“On Thursday, Lebanon charged a retired general, his wife and his nephew, a government security agent, with spying for Israel."

The anti-Israel Obama regime comes to power now Israeli agents in Arab countries are discovered. Coincidence? Who's fingering them?
