Iran Escalates "War of the Plaques" With Germany
The Tehran city council has ordered the mayor to place "within 15 days" a plaque outside the German Embassy in Tehran commemorating the victims of chemical attacks from the same war, "Iran" reported on 28 April. Iran accuses Western powers, including Germany, of having sold Iraq chemical weapons in the war. The move is seen as a response to a plaque placed outside a Berlin restaurant last week that accuses Iran of murdering dissidents there in 1992.Posted by: Mike Sylwester 2004-04-30 |
