Iran protests to UN over Israel 'war game' campaign

UNITED NATIONS: Iran on Wednesday accused Israel of assassinating its nuclear scientists as part of a "war game" while it denied any role in attacks on Israeli diplomatic targets in several countries.

A letter sent by Iran's UN ambassador, Mohammad Khazaee, to the UN Security Council said Israel has been allowed to commit crimes against others with "impunity".

Israel has blamed Iran for a car bomb last week which critically injured an Israeli diplomat in New Delhi.

Georgian officials defused a second device in Tbilisi, while a suspected Iranian bomber had his legs blown off as he hurled a grenade at Thai police.

A number of arrests of people with alleged links to Iranian intelligence have reportedly been made in Azerbaijan.

Iran has in turn accused Israel of financing and training militant groups which it says have killed a number of Iranian nuclear scientists. As tensions rise over Tehran's nuclear program, there is mounting speculation that Israel plans a a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities. AFP
