TEHRAN, July 26 (Xinhua) -- Iran's security and intelligence forces have disbanded a terrorist group and arrested 36 people across the country in this regard, a judiciary official was quoted as saying by IRNA news agency on Monday.

Eleven detainees were from Iran's southern Fars province and 25 others were in eastern and western provinces, said Kazem Mousavi, the Chief of Justice Office of Fars.

They planed to carry out simultaneous terrorist acts in several provinces with the support of intelligence services of a European and a regional country, said Mousavi.

The group had released video clips in cyberspace seeking to create terror, he said.

A large number of weapons and ammunition were seized from the arrested people, Mousavi was quoted as saying, noting that the smashed group was affiliated with "Takfiri terrorists." Enditem
