DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Iran's judiciary said Tuesday arrests have been made over the accidental shootdown of a Ukrainian passenger plane that killed all 176 people on board just after takeoff from Tehran.
The announcement came shortly after Iran's president called for a special court to be set up to probe the downing last week of the plane by Iranian forces.
Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili was quoted by Iranian state media saying that "extensive investigations have taken place and some individuals are arrested. He did not say how many individuals have been detained or name them.
Iran, which initially dismissed allegations that a missile had brought down the jetliner, acknowledged — three days after Wednesday's downing and in the face of mounting evidence — that its Revolutionary Guard had shot down the Ukrainian plane by mistake.

Arrested those who denied the news?
Arrested those who bulldozed the area?
What’s become of those who said that the Iranian missiles killed 30 Americans in Iraq?
Will the executions be on cable tv?
You know they’ll want to make it a big spectacle to convince doubters that the shoot down wasn’t intentional.
That’s how those Ayatollahs remain in control of the country: you screw up, you die.
Mistakes were made.(Yeah. Right.)
Scapegoats will be found.
The guilty will get off.
Some poor slob who managed to get himself cross ways of the mullahs will be blamed even if he was sleeping innocently in his bed when the plane was shot down.
