Iran names a suspect

IRAN named a suspect in the attack on its Natanz nuclear facility that damaged centrifuges there, saying he had fled the country before the sabotage happened.

State television named the suspect as 43-year-old Reza Karimi. It showed a passportstyle photograph of a man it identified as Mr Karimi, saying he was born in the nearby city of Kashan, Iran.

The report did not elaborate how Mr Karimi would have got access to one of the most secure facilities in the Islamic Republic.

The report also aired what appeared to be an Interpol “red notice” seeking his arrest.

Interpol, based in Lyon, France, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
