British agent arrested in connection with twin bombings in Ahwaz http://www.iranfocus.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4031
Quote : | "Mon. 17 Oct 2005 Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Oct. 17 – An individual arrested in connection with Saturday’s twin bombings in the south-western city of Ahwaz has confessed to have received British training in Iraq to carry out the attacks, the Iranian Majlis (Parliament) deputy for the oil-rich city announced on Monday.
“The arrested individual is a deceived person who received the necessary training in Iraq”, Nasser Soudani told the Fars news agency, close to the office of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
“Foreign agents, led by treacherous and criminal Britain, have trained teams in Iraq to create insecurity and an air of fright and terror in the province of Khuzestan”, Soudani said, referring to the ethnic Arab-dominated province whose capital is Ahwaz.
Saturday’s twin bombings in a central Ahwaz shopping centre left at least six people dead and over 100 injured.
Soudani said that two British intelligence agents arrested last month in the southern Iraqi city of Basra had ties to both the bombings on Saturday and a similar spate of bombings in the volatile city earlier in June.
British officials have said that the pair were MI5 agents working to uncover Iranian support for the insurgent attacks against British troops in southern Iraq." |
Iran's president alleges British involved in twin bomb attack http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051016/wl_uk_afp/iranunrestbritainiraq
Quote : | "Sun Oct 16, 5:34 PM ET TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran's hardline president said he suspected British involvement in a double bomb attack in the southwest of the Islamic republic, an allegation that came hot on the heels of British complaints of Iranian meddling in Iraq. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asserted that "Iran's security and intelligence officials have come across British footprints" in past attacks in the southwestern oil-rich and ethnic-Arab dominated province of Khuzestan.
Two bombs exploded outside a crowded market late Saturday in Ahvaz, capital of Khuzestan province. Five people were killed and more than 100 injured, according to the latest official toll.
"The presence of British forces in southern Iraq and along Iran's borders is the cause of insecurity for Iraqis and Iranians. We are strongly suspicious of British forces committing terrorist acts," Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying by the student news agency ISNA." |

ummmmm, yeah. so nothing in that article actually states or supports that the arrested suspect actually received training. All it says is that the Brits that were arrested last month "had ties" to the bombing.
and, of course they "had ties." They were probably infiltrating the fucking terrorist cell. thus, they "have ties."
the first sentence may say that the suspect confessed to having been given British training, but given Iran's hatred of England, I wouldn't be surprised if the authorities coerced him into saying it. Besides, again, nothing else in the article supports that claim. There's not even a quote from the suspect, or even a paraphrasing of a quote.
I'm calling "bullshit" on the whole "article" 10/19/2005 5:14:47 PM |
