NEW: Iran's judiciary says arrests have been made over downing of Ukrainian plane that killed all 176 people on board.
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.
"The judiciary should form a special court with a ranking judge and dozens of experts," President Hassan Rouhani said in a speech televised in Iran on Tuesday. “This is not an ordinary case. The entire the world will be watching this court.” “The responsibility falls on more than just one person," he said, adding that those found culpable “should be punished.”
Rouhani called the government's admission that Iranian forces shot down the plane the"first good step”.
