Two Iranian suspects have been arrested by Cypriot authorities over an alleged plot to target Israelis in the island nation, the Reuters agency reports, citing an unsourced report by the local Kathimerini Cyprus newspaper.
The detainees are said to be political refugees who have been in contact with a person with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
They reportedly were in the early stages of obtaining intelligence on potential Israeli targets.
