Agence France-Presse - 03 May, 2007A former Iranian nuclear negotiator from the reformist presidency of Mohammad Khatami has been arrested on accusations apparently linked to national security, Iranian news agencies reported yesterday. Hossein Moussavian, part of a moderate negotiating team that served until 2005, was arrested “for security reasons” at his house in Tehran on Monday, the state-run Irna news agency reported. The semi-official Fars news agency said that the former nuclear negotiator “was arrested and detained for a series of links with foreigners and exchanging information with them”. A source said “Moussavian had probably exchanged information with foreigners over nuclear issues and he could face espionage charges”.
