UAE says dismantled Iran-linked group plotting 'terror' operations

Authorities in the United Arab Emirates arrested members of an Iran-linked group that was plotting "terrorist" acts in the country and attempting to recruit Emiratis, state security said Monday.

"The State Security Service announced the dismantling of a terrorist organisation and the arrest of its members," adding they were "planning systematic terrorist and sabotage operations" in the UAE.

"Investigations revealed the organisation's ties to the Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Jurist) in Iran," it added. It also shared mugshots of 27 men and their names.
