Hezbollah investigating UNIFIL attack in south Lebanon
2007-06-27
Spanish Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos telephoned his Iranian counterpart Manuchehr Mottaki on Monday asking Tehran to use its influence to help find about the causes of an explosion in south Lebanon which killed six Spanish and Colombian soldiers. Today, Hezbollah has acted on the request and launched its own investigation into the bombing attack that targeted U.N. peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, a Hezbollah source said on Tuesday. "We are carrying out our own investigations and are ready to share (the findings) with UNIFIL (the United Nations Interim Force) if necessary," the source said.

While I can understand why the Spanish think the Iranians might know something about this incident, isn't this sort of like Elliot Ness calling up Al Capone to ask if he's heard anything about bootlegging in Chicago? What are the Iranians going to say, "Oh yeah, that was us, our bad"?

#1  They have been looking into this already because they expected at least 50 and possibly 80 dead UNIFIL. Something went horribly wrong. They are determined to do better next time.
