Turkey Grounds Iranian Planes for Weapons Search
[AFP/ABS-CBN-Philippines] Turkey grounded two Syria-bound Iranian planes during the past month to search for weapons following Israeli intelligence that Iran is supplying rockets to Hizballah, Turkish foreign ministry spokesman Namik Tan said Thursday. The Hurriyet daily reported that two Iranian planes flying to Syria were forced to land in Diyarbakir on July 27 and August 8 following an Israeli tip-off that they were carrying rockets, but no military equipment was discovered in either of the aircraft.
