Iran arrests 20 alleged spies of Israel

IRAN has arrested 20 people it alleges are operatives of Israel's Mossad spy agency in recent months, the judiciary said on Saturday, warning that they will face no leniency and will be made an example of. On Wednesday, Iran executed a nuclear scientist named Rouzbeh Vadi, who was convicted of spying for Israel and passing on information on another nuclear scientist killed in Israel's air strikes on Iran in June, state media reported. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangiri told reporters in Tehran on Saturday that charges against some of the 20 suspects arrested had been dropped and they were released. He did not give a number. 'The judiciary will show no leniency toward spies and agents of the Zionist regime, and with firm rulings, will make an example of them all,' Jahangiri was quoted as saying by Iranian media. He said full details would be made public once investigations were complete. Executions of Iranians convicted of spying for Israel have significantly increased this year, with at least eight death sentences carried out in recent months. Israel carried out 12 days of air strikes on Iran in June, targeting Iran's top generals, nuclear scientists, nuclear installations, as well as residential neighbourhoods. Iran responded with barrages of missiles and drones on Israel. Rights group HRANA reported 1,190 Iranian deaths during the 12-day Israeli attacks, including 436 civilians and 435 security personnel.

Police record 14 statements over break-in at Lim Guan Eng trial witness's home

PETALING JAYA: Police have recorded statements from 14 people to assist in the investigation into the break-in at the home of a key prosecution witness in the corruption trial involving former finance minister Lim Guan Eng, on Jalan Bukit Gasing. Petaling Jaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Shahrulnizam Ja'afar said that so far, 14 statements have been taken to aid the investigation. He added that the police are also tracking down several other witnesses believed to be able to assist in the case. "Investigations are still ongoing to identify the suspects involved in the incident," he said when contacted today. It was previously reported that the suspects, armed with parangs, escaped with stolen items estimated to be worth RM300,000. The victim suffered injuries to the mouth and wrist, while two of his security guards were tied up by the assailants, who also warned them: "Don't be a hero. Stay home and keep quiet." Last Wednesday, police confirmed that the robbery was not linked to the victim's role as a key witness in the ongoing corruption trial. Lim, who is also the DAP national chairman, is facing multiple corruption charges in the Sessions Court related to the Penang Undersea Tunnel Project.
