Tehran, Feb 14, IRNA -- Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman, Hamidreza Asefi, here Thursday rejected details, given by US President George W. Bush's special envoy to Afghanistan, of alleged Iranian interference in Afghanistan and help to al-Qaeda fugitives. "The information is old, false and inaccurate and cannot be used" he told IRNA in reaction to Zalmay Khalilzad's statements in a recent BBC interview that "Washington had passed the information directly to Iranian diplomats during multilateral talks on Afghanistan." "The Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with its commitments and UN resolutions, has made many efforts to fight terrorism and will do so in the future," Asefi said. "Iran has also presented a comprehensive report on its measures taken in this respect to the UN Secretary General (Kofi Annan)," he added. |
