Iran Says 30 Arrests in Alleged US Spy Case

   VOA News  May 21, 2011

   Iran says it has dismantled a spy network it says was linked to the
   U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and arrested 30 people.
   A statement from Iran's Intelligence Ministry read on state radio and
   television Saturday said the ministry uncovered the network, which it
   said had been established by the CIA in several different countries.
   The statement says the network had tried to recruit Iranians civilians
   who were looking for work. Iran says the civilians were promised
   employment and education opportunities in exchange for cooperation.
   Iran frequently announces the arrests of individuals who it says work
   for foreign intelligence agencies.
