Iran has denied any connection to two Kenyans arrested on charges of spying for the Islamic Republic as part of its elite Quds Force. The two are also accused of plotting attacks against Western targets in Nairobi.
In a Foreign Ministry statement carried by the IRNA news service, Iran claimed the two Kenyans have no ties to Iran's intelligence or security apparatus. Publicizing the case was "hasty and non-constructive," it added.
