France says Iran asset freezes linked to bomb plot near Paris
PARIS, Oct 2, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – France said Tuesday that it had frozen assets belonging to two Iranians and Iran’s intelligence services in response to an alleged plot to bomb a meeting of Iranian opposition supporters near Paris last June.
“In taking this decision, France underlines its determination to fight against terrorism in all its forms, particularly on its own territory,” France’s interior, foreign and economy ministers said in a rare joint statement.
