The Belgian statement gave no further details about diplomat, other than saying they were suspected of having been in contact with the Belgian pair arrested.It said one of those arrested in France, Merhad. A, was a suspected accomplice of the pair in Brussels. The NCRI meeting, which attracted a crowd of thousands, took place on Saturday in Villepinte, just outside Paris, a three-hour drive from Brussels."A plot by the religious dictatorship ruling Iran to carry out a terrorist attack against the grand gathering of the Iranian Resistance in Villepinte was foiled," Shahin Gobadi spokesman for NCRI said in a statement.The People's Mujahideen Organization of Iran, is the main component of NCRI. The group, also known by its Persian name Mujahideen-e-Khalq, was once listed as a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union but is no longer.Tehran has long called for a crackdown on the NCRI in Paris, Riyadh, and Washington. The group is regularly criticized in state media.Following the arrests, Belgian authorities also conducted five raids in different parts of the country but did not elaborate on whether anything was found.Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel on Twitter thanked police and intelligence officers for their work."Once more the good cooperation between countries has borne fruit," Michel wrote.How convenient: Just as we embark on a presidential visit to Europe, an alleged Iranian operation and its “plotters” arrested. Iran unequivocally condemns all violence & terror anywhere, and is ready to work with all concerned to uncover what is a sinister false flag ploy.
