The Austrian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that is stripping an Iranian of his diplomatic status after he was arrested in Germany in connection with a suspected plot to bomb an Iranian opposition group's meeting in France, according to Reuters.
A ministry statement said the diplomat, 46-year-old Assadollah A, was suspected of having been in contact with two suspects in Belgium who were intercepted by Belgian police on Saturday with 500 grams of the homemade explosive TATP and a detonation device found in their car.
