'Iran trial' for UK embassy staff

[Snow Crash]

I thought I'd do a thread on this before Warlord does one using an unlinked Israeli source.

[offsite:1pg0ck4i]Some UK embassy staff detained in Tehran and accused of inciting protests after disputed elections will face trial, a top Iranian cleric says.

Guardians Council chief Ahmad Jannati said: "Naturally they will be put on trial, they have made confessions."

Nine embassy staff were held in Tehran last weekend. Britain says all but two have now been freed.[/offsite:1pg0ck4i]

While I wouldn't be shocked for an instant were the claims made against these people accurate, this stinks to high heaven of scrambling for scapegoats to help the Iranian Government 'explain' why their people were so angry.

However, this IS the BBC, so... lol

Oh of course. You must understand old bean, we Brits make excellent villains, hey what.

Cup of tea, game of cricket, a little espionage, some devious banking based quest for world domination... thats us.

Positively spiffing secret agents we have as well. Who needs such ghastly camoflague, when one can have a Walther PPK and a tuxedo?
