| Iran denies agents seeking asylum in Denmark |
| 2002-07-12 |
| Iran’s foreign ministry denied foreign press reports that four Iranian secret service agents have asked for political asylum in Denmark. Spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said the "tendentious report," carried by TV2 television in Denmark last month, was "completely false" and "aimed at straining ties between Iran and the European Union" just before Copenhagen takes over the rotating presidency of the European Union. The four had diplomatic passports, and have been giving Danish intelligence information regarding links between Iranian groups living in Denmark and the Iranian secret services, said TV2, citing a former Iranian secret service agent living in Denmark under a false name. "Ardeshir, I think this ship might be sinking." "I believe you might be right, Hamid." "They say Denmark is nice..." "I like blondes, too. Shall we decamp?" |
