Iran disputes report on suicide volunteers
Iranian officials on Saturday strongly disputed media reports that Iran's top leader Ayatollah Ali Khameini has banned volunteers from leaving the country to carry out suicide bombings against Israel and stressed that the supreme leader meant only that practical obstacles remained for such attackers to get to Gaza.
The officials said The Associated Press misinterpreted Khamenei's comments when he said Thursday that "our hands are tied in this arena." (AP)
