Iran [Says] Uncovers Foreign-backed Internet Plot

REUTERS: TEHRAN - Iran has arrested a number of people accused of setting up anti-religious and obscene web sites as part of a foreign-backed plot to undermine the Islamic Republic, Iranian media reported on Thursday.

The semi-official Fars News Agency listed the initials of 26 people it said were involved in the case but it did not make clear whether all of them had been detained in an operation by the intelligence arm of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards.

They were part of networks supported by foreign security services, it said, without naming the countries.

"These people ... with the aim to take forward the enemies' goals as part of the soft revolution project acted to launch a number of anti-religious, obscene and anti-revolutionary web sites," Fars said. >>> Fredrik Dahl | Thursday, March 19, 2009
