Iranian authorities have arrested a leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) extremist group, Arutz Sheva reports with a reference to the Associated Press.
The report said the suspect was in contact with 300 ISIS members and was planning attacks during Shiite ceremonies across the country next month.
Members of the elite Revolutionary Guard detained the suspect in a town near Tehran, according to the report, which did not identify the suspect, and would only say he spent a night in the Tehran neighborhood of Dolatabad, an Iraqi community, after arriving in the country.
Last month, Iranian security forces said they had broken up a group linked to ISIS which was planning attacks in religious centers in the country and trying to hide weapons in home appliances.
