TEHRAN: Iran's judiciary said Wednesday that the country's intelligence units have arrested the No. 2 leader of a little-known militant Iranian opposition group based in California.

The man — identified only as "Masmatus," which appears to be a pseudonym — is believed to be the second in command in the group known as "Tondar," according to the judiciary's media outlet Mizanonline. The arrest took place last month, it said, without providing more details.
