Turkey Stops Iranian Fighters from Entering Lebanon |
2006-08-03 |
Turkish authorities have prevented 50 Iranian students from crossing the border, AFP reported. The students announced last week they were heading to Lebanon as volunteers, to help Hizbullah fight the Israeli army. Quoting the Iranian Fars news agency, the report said the students were stopped at the border. After waiting for five days at the border, they demonstrated outside the Turkish embassy, demanding to be allowed entry. The students protested against what they called an alliance between Turkey and “the Zionists.” The students, calling themselves the Student Movement for Justice, climbed onto two trucks in Tehran last week and headed for the Iranian-Turkish border. They were hoping to enter Lebanon through Turkey and Syria, and help Hizbullah fight Israel. |

#4 "Psst, Mahmoud, hold me back! DEATH TO ISRAEL! JIHAD! LET ME AT THEM" I don't know if AhmadInAHijab is trying to say something or if it's a diversionary tactic. I expected it, but I'm glad to actually see that Turkey did the right thing here. |
