"The terrorists involved in the assassination of martyr Masoud Ali Mohammadi last year have been arrested," an informed source said Sunday night.
Iranian university professor and nuclear scientist, Massoud Ali Mohammadi, was also assassinated in a terrorist bomb attack in Tehran in January 2010.
The 50-year-old professor was killed in a booby-trapped motorbike blast in front of his house in Qeytariyeh neighborhood in Northern Tehran.
Iranian officials took the Zionist regime of Israel and US hirelings inside Iran responsible for the terrorist operation.
President Ahmadinejad said at the time that the report of experts on the explosion scene indicated that the assassination had been conducted through the methods of the Zionists.
Later on November 29, 2010, two other Iranian university professors Fereidoon Abbasi Davani and Majid Shahriari were assassinated in separate terrorist bomb attacks in Tehran with the latter killed immediately after the blast.
Days later in December, Iran announced that its security forces had arrested a number of perpetrators of the November attacks on its scientists and university professors.
Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar said at the time that the confessions made by the arrested terrorists indicated Israel's direct role in the attacks.
Three days after the attack, Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi announced that his forces have arrested a number of perpetrators.
"With the arrest of these people, we have found new clues to arrest the other elements," Moslehi added.
"The three spy agencies of Mossad, CIA and MI6 have played a role in these attacks," Moslehi added.
The Iranian intelligence minister added that the individuals who cooperated with these espionage services were part of an extensive organization and planned to carry out more attacks but they were arrested.
