Iran's intelligence ministry has said it had arrested 27 members of a "terrorist network" suspected of planning attacks last week to coincide with the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The group plotted to "carry out terrorist operations in Tehran and some other important cities," the ministry said yesterday in a statement on its website.

"They published pictures in cyberspace threatening the honourable nation of Iran with revenge and murder."
