   Iran claims foul play in plane crashes

   Iran has said it had information that the United States, Britain and Israel   
   had a role in two deadly military plane crashes in the last two months.   
      
      
   It was the latest accusation by Tehran against the West in their sharpening   
   confrontation.   
      
   A day earlier, Iran blamed the United States and Britain for two bombings   
   that killed at least nine people in the southwestern city of Ahvaz.   
      
   Interior Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi told reporters on the sidelines of a   
   police seminar that "the information we have says that the US, Britain and   
   Israel's intelligence agents intended to create insecurity in Iran".   
      
   "Even my evaluation says that the crash of our C-130 and Falcon planes was   
   done by their design, or maybe electronic interference."   
      
   Pourmohammadi did not elaborate and did not give any evidence.   
      
   In early January, an Iranian military flight carrying a commander of the   
   country's elite Revolutionary Guards and 10 others crashed while trying to   
   make an emergency landing, killing all aboard.   
      
   On 6 December 2005, a military transport plane crashed into a 10-storey   
   building near Tehran's Mehrabad airport, killing 115 people.   
      
   The plane, a US-made C-130, had suffered engine trouble and the pilot was   
   returning to the airport when the aircraft suddenly lost altitude and   
   slammed into the apartment building.   
      
   Most of the passengers were Iranian journalists.
