(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Azerbaijan's Azeri police and plainclothes forces have arrested two employees of Iranian Broadcasting (IRIB) in the capital city of Baku.
An IRIB employee was detained and a correspondent was arrested at his house and transferred to Baku Central Police Department, reports say.
The Republic of Azerbaijan has been involved in anti-Iran acts, helping Mossad agents in terrorist attacks against Iranians by providing technical and logistical support.
Last year, Majid Jamali Fashi, who assassinated Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, confessed to having received forged documents in Azerbaijan’s Heydar Aliyev Airport to travel to Tel Aviv.
Professor Ali-Mohammadi, a lecturer at Tehran University, was killed when an explosive-laden motorbike was detonated with a remote-controlled device near his home in northern Tehran in January 2010.
The country also refused entry to a senior IRIB official upon arrival at Heydar Aliyev International Airport in December 2011.
Director of the IRIB office in Baku, Ahmad Kazemi, was stopped by customs officials and forced to take the return flight to Tehran on the same day.
Detention of the two IRIB employees comes with a new wave of arrests of Islamist activists and anti-government protestors in the Caspian Sea state.
