Three Iraqi nationals were arrested late Sunday for illegal entry into Iranian territorial waters northwest of the Persian Gulf. | The next line, though, makes it questionable: |
An informed source, speaking on condition of anonuymity, told IRNA on Monday that the Iraqis were arrested by border guards as their motor boat was approaching Iranian territorial waters near Arvandkenar fishing port. Several arms were nabbed from the group, he added. Iraqi fishermen, on at least 12 occasions this year, have tried to illegally enter Iran's territorial waters in Arvandkenar and a number have been arrested during each occasion. |
