 Germany’s federal prosecutor on Wednesday charged Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian diplomat based in Vienna, with hiring a Belgium couple of Iranian origin to bomb a Paris- based conference of Iranian dissidents.

In March, Assadi, 46, allegedly commissioned a couple in Antwerp to bomb the annual convention of the Mujahedeen- e-Khalq – an Iranian exile organization that advocates the overthrow of the Tehran regime. The opposition group met June 30 in Villepinte, France.”

German authorities arrested Assadi in Bavaria on July 2. Belgian citizens Amir Sadoni and Nassim Nomeni were also arrested for conspiring to bomb the conference.
