CAIRO (AFP) – Egyptian authorities have arrested an Iranian diplomat on charges of spying on the North African country for Tehran’s intelligence services, state media reported on Sunday.
A judicial source confirmed his arrest, which was denied however by the Iranian interests section in Cairo.
“The state security prosecution today began an inquiry into Iranian diplomat Qasim al-Hosseini, who works at the Iranian interests section in Cairo,” the Egyptian state news agency MENA reported.
