Iran Shows Video of Captured Britons
Iran Shows Video of Captured British Sailors, London Denounces Move

By NASSER KARIMI

TEHRAN, Iran Mar 28, 2007 (AP)— Iran aired a video Wednesday of 15 captured
British sailors and marines, showing the only woman captive saying her group
had "trespassed" in Iranian waters. Britain angrily denounced the video as
unacceptable and froze most dealings with the mideast nation.

As the standoff escalated, the Iranian foreign minister backed off a prediction
that the femaile sailor could be freed Wednesday or Thursday, but said British
officials would be allowed to meet with detained service personnel.
