LONDON (AP) - Iran's ambassador to Britain on Saturday denied that his country has given insurgents in Iraq explosives technology to bomb British soldiers and said he hoped the allegations would not affect negotiations over Iran's nuclear program.
Prime Minister Tony Blair said recently that explosive devices that have killed British troops in Iraq were similar to those used by the Iranian-linked militant group Hezbollah.
A senior British official went further, telling reporters anonymously that there was evidence Iran's Revolutionary Guard had given insurgents the technology used in the attacks, which have killed eight British troops in southern Iraq since May. The soldiers were hit by powerful roadside bombs capable of punching through armored vehicles.
