Denmark Arrests 3 Members of Al-Ahwazi Terror Group over Spying for Saudi
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Denmark said it has arrested three leading members of the Al-Ahwazi terrorist group, which has an office in London, on suspicion of spying for Saudi Arabia.
“It is the view of PET (The Danish Security and Intelligence Service) that the three people, in the period from 2012 to 2018, have been spying for a Saudi Arabian intelligence service,” PET chief Finn Borch Andersen told reporters.
The three Saudi-backed terrorists have been under close police protection and one was the subject of a 2018 assassination plot that was prevented by PET after a major police operation, he added, Reuters reported.
On September 22, 2018, the Al-Ahwazi group carried out a terrorist attack on Iran's soil, killing soldiers and civilians. Twenty-five people were killed, one of them a four-year-old child and at least 70 were wounded.
