UN panel in Nigeria to probe Iranian arms seizure

A United Nations panel of experts on Iran met with Nigeria's foreign minister on Monday as part of a mission to assess whether an arms shipment seized last year in the West African country put Tehran in breach of UN sanctions.

A court in Nigeria charged an alleged member of Iran's Revolutionary Guards and three Nigerians last November over a shipment of mortars and rockets seized in the main port of Lagos which had originated in Iran. (Reuters)
