None

Five Britons have been detained in Iran after their racing yacht may have inadvertently strayed into Iranian waters, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said on Monday.

 

The yacht, en route from Bahrain to Dubai, was stopped by Iranian naval vessels on Nov. 25, he said in a statement. The five crew members are still in Iran and are understood to be safe and well and their families have been informed, the statement added. (Reuters)
