Iran’s top security body demands swift tracking of those behind terrorist blasts

Iran’s top security body has tasked the country’s intelligence, security and law enforcement organizations to promptly identify and punish those behind Wednesday’s bombings that killed scores of people at a ceremony to commemorate the most prominent anti-terror figure in the region.

The Supreme National Security Council held an ad hoc session on Thursday to hear and review the reports of the organizations, deciding that “the intelligence agencies should quickly track down the clues obtained from the terrorist operation and identify and introduce its mercenary perpetrators”.

“The role of the corrupt minds who always supported the terrorists in targeting innocent women, men and children in different parts of the world, should be accurately identified and reported in this incident,” it said.

“The relevant institutions should take action to predict and prevent and deal decisively with the perpetrators and justly punish the perpetrators or supporters of this crime,” it added.
