surprise, surprise - it was bollocks:
http://www.medialens.org/alerts/06/0601 ... nalism.phpMore recently, on January 5, the Independent reported a government "U-turn" over the claims:
"Britain has dropped the charge of Iranian involvement... Government officials now acknowledge that there is no evidence, or even reliable intelligence, connecting the Iranian government to the infra-red triggered bombs which have killed 10 British soldiers in the past eight months." (Kim Sengupta, Ben Russell, Terri Judd, 'Anger as Britain admits it was wrong to blame Iran for deaths in Iraq,' The Independent, January 5, 2006)
btw, anyone know what happened with those british soldiers caught dressed as arabs with a car full of explosives they sprung from basra jail? that story seemed to die at birth...
