IRAN: Israel accused of holding diplomats missing from Lebanon

Iranians claim they have documents and testimony proving that four Iranian diplomats who disappeared in Lebanon during the war-ravaged 1980s are still alive and languishing in Israeli prisons.

Iranian authorities announced this week that the mystery of four Iranian diplomats might  be revealed soon. The three diplomats and a state-employed photographer were allegedly kidnapped by Christian militiamen in 1982.
