Three Nigerians Arrested for Spying for Iran
(AFP) Nigerian secret police on Wednesday announced the arrest of Islamic Shiite cleric Abdullahi Mustapha Berende and two accomplices for spying on prominent individuals and targets for Iran. Berende underwent training in Iran and then returned to Nigeria "to identify and gather intelligence on public places and prominent hotels frequented by Americans and Israelis to facilitate attacks," state security service spokeswoman Marilyn Ogar said. Berende admitted seeking information about the U.S. aid mission and the Jewish Cultural Center (Chabad) in Lagos.
