Iran dismisses 'sending weapons to Somali militants' claim as 'absurd
fabrication'
By ANI | ANI – Fri 15 Feb, 2013
London, Feb 15 (ANI): Iran has rejected allegations that it
transferred weapons to Islamic militants in Somalia as an "absurd
fabrication."
Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee said in a letter to the U.N.
Security Council that the allegations in a report by experts
monitoring sanctions against Somalia and Eritrea were part of a
'malicious campaign.'
According to a U.N. diplomat, the report links Iran and Yemen to the
supply of weapons to al-Shabab militants, Fox News reports.
Khazaee said the monitoring group put forward "unfounded allegations
and strange fabrications" in its report without first informing the
Iranian government.
He said that the contents were leaked 'for propaganda purposes.'
According to the report, Khazaee urged the sanctions committee to take
'corrective measures.'(ANI)
