Iran talking to Brits on Qaeda detainees
2003-07-01
Iran said Monday it was holding talks with foreign intelligence services, including Britain's over the fate of its detained members of the al-Qaeda terror group. Government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh reiterated Iran would not identify the detainees. "We are holding talks with the secret services of all countries active in the field of fighting terrorism with which we have contacts," Ramezanzadeh told reporters. "For instance, we don't have contacts with American secret agencies, but we do have such contacts with British secret services." He declined to comment on media reports that Iran is holding al-Qaeda's No 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, the group's spokesman Suleiman Abu Ghaith and its security chief Saif al-Adil.
It'd be easy enough to just deny it's them. I think they might be haggling over price now...
