WORLD: Three arrested in attempt of selling babies on instagram.
Three men have been arrested in Iran on suspicion of trying to sell two babies on Instagram.
Tehran's police chief, Brig-Gen Hossein Rahimi, said one of the children was 20 days old. The other was two months old.
The babies had already been bought for up to $500 (£400), and were being resold for between $2,000 and $2,500.
One of those arrested allegedly said he was "getting babies from poor families" and "handing them over to families who could provide a better future".
Brig-Gen Rahimi told local media that police officers had been alerted to "ads on Instagram for selling babies".
The officers uncovered "10 to 15 such pages" on the photo-sharing service and found the two babies with the three men who were arrested, he said. The babies were handed over to social services.
