Tehran probing four over N-espionage

Published December 8, 2004

TEHRAN, Dec 7: Iran's judiciary said on Tuesday it was investigating four people suspected of spying on the country's nuclear programme, contradicting reports that their trial had already begun.

"The trial of the nuclear spies will probably take place in secret after the end of the investigation," judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimi-Rad told the student news agency, ISNA. His comments were confirmed on state television by Abbas Ali Alizadeh, the head of Tehran's justice department. -AFP
