France blames Iran for foiled Paris bomb plot

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – French Officials say Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence was behind a plot to bomb a rally of Iranian Opposition groups in Paris in June.

In a statement, the French Government said it had frozen the assets of two senior Iranian Officials.

Iran insists the alleged plot is a fabrication, but has called for talks.

In a possibly linked development on Tuesday, Police in the French city of Dunkirk raided a Shia Muslim centre that has close ties to Iran.

They made several arrests and froze the assets of the group.
