Britain lobbies Iran over weapons smuggling into Iraq

LONDON British authorities are telling Iran to better secure its border against weapons reportedly being smuggled into Iraq.

They've lodged a complaint to the Iranian government, after a stash of bomb-making supplies was found in southern Iraq. A senior official says it included timers, detonators and other devices.

...

The official says Britain has told Tehran that it is completely unacceptable to allow arms to cross over the border.

Yesterday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld criticized Iran for allowing weapons to cross the border. He called it "notably unhelpful."
