Iran says suspect behind Natanz plant attack identified

Authorities name 43-year-old Reza Karimi as perpetrator behind nuclear plant attack, say he has fled the country.

Iran has said it identified a suspect in connection with a recent explosion and power outage at its main Natanz nuclear plant, as talks got under way in Austria’s capital to try to save the country’s nuclear deal with world powers. State television said the 43-year-old man named Reza Karimi had fled Iran before last Sunday’s blast that it has blamed on archrival Israel. It showed what it said was a photograph of the suspected perpetrator on a red card that had “Interpol Wanted” written on it.
