TEHRAN - Iran has arrested a number of people it says were behind the murder of a nuclear scientist and were linked to foreign spy agencies, state television quoted Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi as saying Thursday.
 
The arrests come as Iran's chief nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili is preparing to hold talks with European Union foreign affairs chief Catherine Ashton in Geneva on December 6-7, the first such meeting between Iran and major powers in more than a year.
 
Scientist Majid Shahriyari was killed in a bomb attack on his car in Tehran Monday, and another nuclear scientist was wounded in a similar bombing in the city at the same time.
 
"A part of a group behind the recent terrorist attacks have been arrested. Mossad, CIA and MI6 have played a role in this incident and by arresting these people we have found new clues," television quoted Moslehi as saying, referring to the intelligence services of Israel, the United States and Britain.
 
"Those who cooperated with these spy agencies ... had more plans, but they were stopped," he added, without giving the number of those arrested or any other further details.
 
No one has claimed responsibility for the bombing, but Iranian officials have said those behind the attack aimed to stop the country's nuclear program.
 
Western countries fear Tehran's nuclear work is aimed at making a bomb but Iran denies this, saying it only aims to generate electricity.
 
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accused the United Nations of complicity in the attack, adding his country considered those countries who had issued resolutions against Tehran accountable.
 
The second bomb Monday wounded Fereydoun Abbasi-Davani who is subject to U.N. sanctions because of what the security council said was involvement in suspected nuclear arms research.
 
In Vienna, Iran's envoy to the U.N. nuclear watchdog suggested the agency was also partly to blame, saying some of the nuclear scientists who had cooperated with its inspectors had later been named in the sanctions resolutions.
 
"Some of the targets are the nuclear experts listed in ... the sanctions," said Ali Asghar Soltanieh. "The agency should feel responsible."
 
" inspectors and then later on we found their names on the list of the sanctions ... of course their lives and families are threatened," he said.
 
Iran's foes, the United States and Israel, say they do not rule out a pre-emptive military strike on the Islamic state to stop it getting nuclear weapons if diplomacy fails.
