Gambia severs all ties with Iran after arms seizure
None
Gambia announced on Monday it was severing all ties with Iran, a move which sources close to Banjul's foreign ministry said followed the seizure of arms from Iran believed to be bound for the West African state.
Nigeria's secret service intercepted the haul of rockets and other explosives in Lagos last month and said shipping documents appeared to show that the weapons had been due for re-export to Gambia. (Reuters)
