France Says Iran's Intelligence Ministry behind Bomb Plot near Paris
(Reuters) John Irish and Richard Lough - France said on Tuesday that, "without any doubt," Iran's intelligence ministry was behind a June plot to attack an exiled opposition group's rally outside Paris, and it seized assets belonging to Tehran's intelligence services and two Iranian nationals. A French diplomatic source said Iranian deputy minister and director general of intelligence Saeid Hashemi Moghadam had ordered the attack, and Assadollah Asadi, a Vienna-based diplomat held by German authorities, had put it into action. The intelligence ministry is under control of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
