* The regime's initial denials and subsequent admission have sparked protests
Iran said today it has arrested several people over the erroneous missile strike which brought down a passenger jet last week.
Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili said 'some individuals' had been detained after 'extensive investigations', without saying how many.
Esmaili also described British ambassador Rob Macaire - who was briefly arrested at the weekend for attending an anti-regime protest - an 'undesirable element' and said he expects him to be expelled from the country.

"Apparently the person who videotaped the missile striking the Ukrainian passenger jet and posting it online has been arrested."
And our Iran apologist will come up with some sort of defense.
I always found it odd and strange that someone was ready to film even before the missile became visible..
That is a good point Hans.
Then again a reporter or some other person might figure that since missiles already flew that night, more action might come like an American response.
Filming is cheap. It is digital instead cellulose.
