Qatar says it has captured 10 suspected Iranian Revolutionary Guard members from two sleeper cells

Qatar’s state news agency QNA reported Tuesday that its government has captured 10 suspected members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, who they believe were part of two sleeper cells in their country.The agency said the suspects have allegedly confessed their ties to the terrorist group and that seven of the suspects were given espionage missions to gather intelligence on Qatar’s military infrastructure. The other three were assigned to conduct sabotage activities and trained to use drones.
Authorities reportedly found locations and coordinates of sensitive facilities and installations in the suspects’ possessions, along with other technological equipment. 
“The State Security urges citizens and residents to remain vigilant and report any suspected activities to the authoritative agencies,” QNA reported. “May Allah, the Almighty, protect Qatar, its Amir, and its people from all harm, and may He grant them the continued blessing of security and peace.”
The announcement comes amid conflict in the Middle East that began over the weekend. 
The United States and Israel launched military strikes against Iran Saturday, which retaliated by launching missiles at Israel and U.S. bases across the region. The U.S. and Israel strikes resulted in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
