TEHRAN - Iranian police have arrested five al Qaida members in an eastern province of the country, the official news agency IRNA quoted a senior police official as saying on Tuesday.
"Five members of the terrorist al Qaida group were arrested in Kerman province ... Two of them are not Iranian citizens," said Kerman police chief Hossein Chenarian.
