Tehran, January 6

A number of Iranians accused of spying for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and sending information over the Internet have been arrested, a top justice official was quoted as saying on Tuesday.

"Several spies who were in contact with the CIA and who were giving precious information... have been detained," military justice chief Hojatoleslam Mohammad Niazi told the Jomhuri Islami newspaper.

The paper did not say who the detainees were, but the military's justice department normally only deals with members of the Iranian armed forces.

"The enemy wants to infiltrate the heart of the armed force and weaken the convictions of the commanders," Niazi was quoted as saying during a meeting of clerics in the army.

He also called on clerics to "develop friendly relations with soldiers and their commanders" to foil enemy plots.
