TEHRAN, Dec 14 (Reuters): Iran has arrested several people over the tearing up of a picture of the Islamic Republic's late founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini during anti-government protests last week, a senior official said today.
''Those people who were at the site (tearing up a picture of Khomeini) have all been identified,'' Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadai told reporters, according to ISNA news agency.
He said arrests had been made.
