By NNN-KUNA

Tehran : The Iranian Security Ministry has arrested a group of “separatists” and seized a cache of weapons in their hideout in the country’s southwestern governorate of Khozistan.

According to a ministry statement Wednesday, the arrest took place a few days ago based on intelligence tips.

The group members carried out activities aimed at provoking sectarian differences in the country, the statement said.

Another group of “sepratists” was arrested last May on similar sectarian and ethnic charges.
