Iran to put on show seized British naval boats

(Filed: 11/03/2005)
Iran is to put on show three British naval boats seized on the Iraq
border last year, state television says.
The boats and eight servicemen were seized by Iran's Revolutionary
Guards in the Shatt al-Arab river last June.
 

The men were released after three days but their boats and equipment,
including weapons and navigational gear, were kept.
Now Tehran is display the boats on the shores of the same waterway,
which divides southwestern Iran from Iraq, during Iran's New Year
holidays which begin on March 21.
The move is likely to anger London which has demanded their return.
 

The families of those killed in the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war often
visit the worst-affected border regions during the New Year holidays
to pay their respects to the dead.
The boats were being delivered to Iraqi police when they were taken.
Tehran says the boats had strayed into Iranian waters. Britain says
they were intercepted in Iraqi waters and forced over to the Iranian
border.
