Iran Detains Seven Suspected Of ‘Spying’ For U.S.

07E2F2C1-4BE0-4CC1-BE49-1DD71E49BB28_mw270_sIran’s state media says Tehran has arrested seven people allegedly linked to RFE/RL’s Radio Farda and accused some of them of working for U.S. spy agencies.

State radio and the official IRNA news agency reported today that the suspects played a key role in provoking protesters during a violent antigovernment demonstration in Tehran in late December.

IRNA quoted an Intelligence Ministry statement as saying seven people “linked to the counterrevolutionaries, the Zionist media, and elements of the sedition” had been arrested.

It did not name them or say when they were detained.

Iranian authorities say the seven people were allegedly planning to provoke riots on February 11, the day the country marks the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution.

In a statement, RFE/RL said it was “very concerned” to learn of the arrests, but that it has no information on the arrests other than that from the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and state-controlled media.

“Since the contested elections last June, there has been a harsh crackdown on independent media and civil society in Iran — hundreds of journalists have been arrested, and media outlets have been censored and closed,” the statement added. “These arrests seem to be the latest evidence of this increasing pressure on media and the freedom of expression.”

  26. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

  43. What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content?

Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.
