| [Yemen Post] Iran United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee denied in an officials letter all allegations accusing Tehran of supplying military equipment to Yemen. On January 28th 2013, the Yemeni authorities confirmed in an official statement it seized an illegal shipment of weapons which it said bore links to Iran. Hidden in the cargo hull was found, surface to air missiles, C4 military-grade explosives, 122-millimeter shells, rocket-propelled grenades and bomb-making equipment, including electronic circuits, remote triggers and other hand-held explosives. Yemen soon established the surface-to-air missiles were Iranian-made Misagh-2, as most of the other weapons found on board of the ship. |
