Azerbaijan, Baku, Apr. 5 / Trend S.Suleymanov /
There is no evidence of the reliability of information about the transfer of night vision cameras and other military cameras by Iran to the radical military groups in Afghanistan, U.S. Central Command Gen. David Petraeus said at the news conference in Astana.
Based on the article published by the U.S. ProPublica magazine, member of the official Iranian IRINN television channel arrested in Italy was engaged in espionage in this country and the smuggling of weapons to Iran. According to the magazine, journalist Hamid Masuminejad purchased 200 cameras for the guns from the Romanian Berta company. Earlier, the U.S. has repeatedly accused Iran of sending weapons to the Taliban.
"We have no information or records on shipment of night-observation equipments from Iran, but we are faced with a situation where Iran has provided a certain amount of explosives, weapons and protective equipment to the Taliban." Such incidents have occurred in the western provinces of Afghanistan, "the general said.
According to him, "there is no need to say that the U.S. is taking all possible measures and efforts to prevent and seize weapons and explosives in Afghanistan that was sent by any country, including Iran through strengthening the border."
