IRAN'S intelligence chief said yesterday that more than 10 people arrested in connection with last year's killing of a nuclear physicist were linked to the Mossad and he warned Israel's spy agency was out to roll back scientific progress in Muslim nations.
Heidar Moslehi did not say exactly how many people were arrested but accused "more than 10" of them of belonging to networks linked to the Israeli agency.
Officials also displayed several handguns that they said were seized from the suspects.
Israel's Foreign Ministry and the office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to comment on the alarming allegations.
Tehran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi was killed by a bomb-rigged motorcycle that exploded outside his house as he was leaving for work in January 2010. Possible explanations for why he was targeted have never been clear, particularly as he had no known link to Iran's nuclear program.
In November, a pair of mysterious bomb attacks in Tehran killed one nuclear scientist and wounded another - both of whom appeared deeply involved in the country's atomic work.
Moslehi also said Israel-linked networks had set up bases in countries neighboring Iran.
