Iran accuses UK of bombing link



Ahwaz was rocked by a wave of unrest last year

Iran has accused the UK of co-operating with bombers who killed eight people in attacks in the restive south-western city of Ahwaz on Tuesday.

"Britain must respond to the doubts of Iranians concerning the events," said Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.

Mr Mottaki said the masterminds of the bombing "or people of their mind" had been photographed with UK officials.

A UK Foreign Office spokesman in London has denied the accusation, saying Britain condemned terrorism.

"Any linkage between HMG (Her Majesty's Government) and these terrorist attacks is completely without foundation," said the official.

A little-known ethnic Arab separatist group has said it was behind the blasts inside a private bank and state environmental agency on Tuesday.

"Our heroes... in the military wing of The Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz attacked and destroyed the dens of the occupying enemy," a statement posted on a website said.

British 'co-operation'

Speaking at a press conference in Tehran, Mr Mottaki claimed Britain supported such groups.

"It is clear for our officials and intelligence centres that the United Kingdom co-operated and had a hand in these bombings either in London or Basra," Mr Mottaki told a news conference in Tehran.



"We hope that British officials would have a clear response in that regard."

Mr Mottaki said the attackers had been helped by British army commanders in southern Iraq.

"We hope British officials take this seriously, put it on their agenda and act accountably," he added.

The oil-rich province of Khuzestan, which borders Iraq and is home to about two million ethnic Arabs, was rocked by a wave of unrest last year, including bomb blasts in June and October.

The government blamed the attacks on the UK, whose forces are just across the border, but British officials again denied involvement.

In November, protests erupted in Ahwaz after ethnic Arabs accused authorities of discrimination.
*******

[personal insult deleted], what is going on in the garden of eden (iran), any terroist attacks against the mad leaders running the country, is blamed on the british, what are they saying iranians are so happy with the garden of eden, they would not dream of attacking it, i am sure they all enjoy being killed for being gay, or being shadowed day & night by religous police, to make sure there unmarried citizens are not holding hands in the park.

Yes [attempt to provoke deleted] i can see how, nobody would be upset about living in a disneyland society like that.

What is it with evil nutter countries like iran, or russia, that they need to blame the brits for there fucked up countries, first the spying in russia, now the bombing in iran, this is all because the brits are giving them a hard time over there nuclear plans.

I would imagine you can count the british expats living in iran on a abacus, so little is the number.

[personal insult deleted] what is it with iran, that they need to lie evertime they open there mouths, & how on earth can we believe them over there nuclear ambitions, when they lie over ridiculous things like this, they know the western world will not believe them, but they are aaiming these lies at the muslim world, who will lap it all up as the gospel truth, & know doubt causing more terroist attacks in the Uk.

No actually it is based on proper fears , Remember when 2 British soldiers were captured in Basra dressed as Arabs with bombs in their car ?
Iraqi police detain two British soldiers in Basra (http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-09/19/content_3514065.htm)
BAGHDAD, Sept. 19 (Xinhuanet) -- Iraqi police detained two British soldiers in civilian clothes in the southern city Basra for firing on a police station on Monday, police said.

"Two persons wearing Arab uniforms opened fire at a police station in Basra. A police patrol followed the attackers and captured them to discover they were two British soldiers," an Interior Ministry source told Xinhua.

The two soldiers were using a civilian car packed with explosives, the source said.
Do you see that , British soldiers dressed as Arabs shooting up Iraqi policemen for no reason other than to provoke clashs .
Now remeber when Iran caught a unit of British commandos on their soil ?
Iran power tussle over UK sailors (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3831059.stm)
There have been conflicting signals from Iran about what it intends to do with the eight British navy personnel detained early on Monday after being accused of penetrating Iranian territory in the Shatt-al-Arab waterway between Iraq and Iran.

The British military have a long history of causing trouble remeber when they shot in the back 3 unarmed IRA soldiers in Gibraltar ? Remember the shoot to kill policies of innocent Irish civilians ?

So when Iran accuses the UK of bombing link I take it seriously .

We should invade UK, U r either with us or against US.

Yes the uk spies & terroists are in full swing, every nutter country in the world is claiming we are there, russia, iran, how is it sane countries are not making these claims, only the insane ones are.


Now remeber when Iran caught a unit of British commandos on their soil ?

As i recall the iranians hijacked them outside there borders, then claimed they caught them inside there borders, once again we either believe a country like iran which is built on lies & a dictatorship, or we believe a country like the uk which was built on a foundation of truth & democracy.

... a country like the uk which was built on a foundation of truth & democracy. Truth ?
Democarzy ?

I always wondered how many Brits wanted to go on a war for an attack on americans and dig their own grave.

Any sane human would have guessed that today its the almighty under attack tommorow they might ....

It is so easy to catch these liars. All you have to do is pay attention.

Iran says - Iran on Wednesday, January 26, accused the British military of cooperating with bombers who killed eight people in southwest Iran,

Tony Blair says - he Iranian government's suggestion ... is obviously ludicrous and deserves to be treated with scorn by the whole international community," said a spokesman in Prime Minister Tony Blair's office


Now. Those come from your McNews sources. The places that propagate the lies of the British and the USA. What we need to do is go somewhere they tell the truth. Either the financial papers, or the military papers.

Financial papers are always more truthful than regular papers. Nothing, not even war, gets in the way of profits. Military guys are truthful because they cannot lie to each other. Their intelligence tells them who has what.

So. We go to the military oriented paper and what do we find? We find a westerner bragging that, yes, the USA and Britain are indeed running terrorist attacks in Iran. At the same time they have a war on terror.

Anyone still have enough brain cells to see the hypocrisy? Look at what this smug westerner says.

"Kurlantzick's source confirmed, in effect, an earlier report by Seymour Hersh in The New Yorker that the administration had approved conducting covert probes by reconnaissance missions in Iran to identify potential nuclear sites as targets for later military strikes. But it suggested any such strikes would be by commando teams rather than from the air.

"You'll start seeing reports of an 'accidental gas leak' at Natanz," an Iranian nuclear facility, the official was quoted as saying.

Administration policymakers apparently hoped that the US and Israel could deny responsibility for a covert operation, thus reducing the likelihood or intensity of Iranian responses to the strikes, as well as opposition from allies around the world.


There it is. Full confession that the USA and Britain are initiating terrorist activities in Iran. The Ahwaz bombing was a terrorist act by the British just as the Iranians charge.

Someone please tell me why the liars Bush and Blair, who have murdered 100,000 people in Iraq and no telling how many people they have tortured, still have their jobs?

If Muslims are assasinated and tortured for terrorism, with this full confession in the public papers, shouldn't Bush and Blair also be tortured and assasinated? If that is the accepted punishment for such things?

...
Someone please tell me why the liars Bush and Blair, who have murdered 100,000 people in Iraq and no telling how many people they have tortured, still have their jobs?... That number is only of during the last war, the total killed in Iraq since attack on kuwait is 2 0 , 0 0 , 0 0 0 +

Iran has said it had information that the United States, Britain and Israel had a role in two deadly military plane crashes in the last two months.

It was the latest accusation by Tehran against the West in their sharpening confrontation.

A day earlier, Iran blamed the United States and Britain for two bombings that killed at least nine people in the southwestern city of Ahvaz.

Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi told reporters on the sidelines of a police seminar that "the information we have says that the US, Britain and Israel's intelligence agents intended to create insecurity in Iran".

"Even my evaluation says that the crash of our C-130 and Falcon planes was done by their design, or maybe electronic interference."

Pourmohammadi did not elaborate and did not give any evidence.

In early January, an Iranian military flight carrying a commander of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards and 10 others crashed while trying to make an emergency landing, killing all aboard.

On 6 December 2005, a military transport plane crashed into a 10-storey building near Tehran's Mehrabad airport, killing 115 people.

The plane, a US-made C-130, had suffered engine trouble and the pilot was returning to the airport when the aircraft suddenly lost altitude and slammed into the apartment building.

Most of the passengers were Iranian journalists.

The plane, a US-made C-130, had suffered engine trouble and the pilot was returning to the airport when the aircraft suddenly lost altitude and slammed into the apartment building.

"aircraft suddenly lost altitude and slammed into the apartment building."

Sounds like bin ladens work to me, his specialty is crashing planes into buildings, apparently him being a outdoors man living in tents & caves, he always had a deep dislike of tower buildings, and him suffering from vertigo, he is on a mission to make the world flat.

and yes dont believe the yanks or brits, no believe a country that arrests unmarried men & women, for kissing or holding hands in the park, or hangs teenage gays.
