Iran denies being al-Qaida haven
Iran has denied recent accusations by a top Spanish anti-terrorist judge that the al-Qaida has its "board of managers" based in Iran.

The Iranian foreign ministry on Wednesday strongly disputed the claim by Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon and insisted there was no proof to substantiate his allegations.

"These declarations are without basis. Their sole aim is to create a media spectacle and they are not worthy of further comment," the state-run IRNA news agency quoted foreign ministry officials as saying.

Allegation

Garzon had on Sunday alleged that Usama bin Ladin's al-Qaida network had been restructured and its "board of managers" was working in Iran.

1. as well they should
Lay off the guys. It'll serve no purpose to invade Iran while they're already having a reformist revolution.
