Britain denies Iranian bomb claims


Britain has dismissed as "completely without foundation" suggestions by the Iranian leadership that UK forces were involved in twin bombings that killed five people and injured more than 100 in south-western Iran.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he suspected Britain played a role in Saturday's attacks. The ISNA students news agency quoted him as saying: "We are very suspicious about the role of British forces in perpetrating such terrorist acts."

Earlier, Iranian interior minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi said he believed that the blasts, which tore into a shopping centre in Ahvaz, in Khuzestan province, were "a continuation of previous explosions that were guided from abroad."

But in a statement, the British embassy in Tehran said: "The British Embassy expresses its revulsion at and condemnation of the terrorist attacks in Ahwaz on 15 October in which so many Iranian people have lost their lives and been injured. On behalf of the British Government and people, we extend our condolences to the families of the bereaved, the injured and all those involved.

"The British Government condemns all terrorist activity unequivocally.

1. Of course they would

After all, Britain is the "clean" member of the 'coalition' in Iraq and all, how could anyone accuse them of doing dastardly things like this? :sarcasm:

4. Yeh but pay no attention

Yeh... but pay no attention to those brit soldiers dressed as Arabs. They're not going to do anything with those explosives and detonators in the car, they're just passing thru.

2. Iran Issues Charges Against U.K., U.S.

<snip> Iranian Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi said he believed the Saturday blasts that tore into a shopping center in Ahvaz near the Iraqi border were "a continuation of previous explosions that were guided from abroad," state-run radio reported.

Britain's embassy in Tehran released a statement condemning the attacks - and the accusations.

"Any linkage between the British government and these terrorist outrages is completely without foundation," the embassy said.

In June, when four similar bombings killed at least eight people in the same mall in Ahvaz, a city populated mainly by Iran's minority Arabs, Tehran blamed Iranian Arab extremists, accusing them of ties to British intelligence in neighboring southern Iraq. Britain denied the charge. <snip>

3. UK blamed Iran for bombs in Iraq...OOPS it was the IRA, not Iran.

So now we should believe the UK's denial because...???

5. What happened to the good old days when terrorists fessed up.

You know, they'd maybe give a warning a few minutes before the bomb went off, admit responsibility and make some demand. Nice and simple like. So you knew who did it and why they did it.

But since governments took over the terror business, it's all so confusing, what with false flags and claims and counterclaims.

Oh for the good old days.
