‘Zarqawi not in Iran’
TEHRAN, May 29: Iran on Sunday rejected a British newspaper report that Al Qaeda’s leader in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, had fled the country for emergency surgery in the Islamic republic. “It is a naive fabrication of the news... just like other things that have been said before,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told reporters. He said Iran was a ‘crystal clear country where nothing remains hidden’. The Sunday Times newspaper reported that Zarqawi had been moved to Iran after a US air strike left him with shrapnel lodged in his chest.-—AFP
