Iran says bombers linked to Britain
Iran said today that investigations have proved Britain’s ties to suspects in bombings in southern Iran over the past few months, indicating for the first time that it has evidence linking London to the unrest.
Iranian officials have previously said the explosions that hit Ahvaz city were guided from abroad – suggesting a British role – and said that detained suspects had confessed to having foreign ties.
The accusations follow recent bitter exchanges between Tehran and London, with Britain claiming Iran has given Iraqi insurgents explosives technology to bomb British soldiers and Iran accusing Britain of provoking unrest among the country’s Arab minority.
Both countries have denied the respective claims.
