A group of Iranians and Azeris has been arrested on suspicion of smuggling arms and military supplies from Iran into Azerbaijan, the Azeri National Security Ministry said on Thursday.
“It was a group of seven people, citizens of Iran and Azerbaijan,” Arif Babayev, the ministry spokesman, told Reuters.
The National Security Ministry said the group also smuggled in a large quantity of narcotics from Iran into Azerbaijan.
In a separate incident, Baku arrested 22 Azeri citizens suspected of spying for Iran and plotting to attack Western embassies and companies in March.
Two months earlier, two men were arrested in Azerbaijan on suspicion of plotting attacks on foreigners, including the Israeli ambassador and a rabbi.
