IRNA - Iran is prosecuting captured terrorists who were plotting to assassinate the country�s powerful military commander Qasem Soleimani.�






�Members of a team that were planning to assassinate Major General Soleimani�are being prosecuted and accused of taking part in actions against the country�s internal and external security, waging ?ir?bah and helping the intelligence agencies of foreign and adversary countries,� said Kerman Province�s General Prosecutor Dadkhoda Salari on Tuesday.

He added that all the individuals involved in the plot were hit in several different points and captured �in less than 10 hours�.

Salari mentioned that it was a very well-planned attempt in which the terrorists were fully trained and equipped.

Iran�s Islamic Revolution�Guard�Corps (IRGC) announced several weeks ago that they had arrested several terrorists, defusing a plot to assassinate Major General�Soleimani.

Soleimani has been the architect of liberating Iraq and Syria from Daesh and other terrorists.

The IRGC�s intel unit was observing closely the team since six months ago, according to the local official.

He noted that they planned to "launch a war between Shia and the Sunnis".

Salari stressed that the terrorists were also seeking to destroy the �axis of resistance in the Muslim world�.
