Iran says diplomat target of German smear campaign
Iran on Sunday said one of its diplomats was confronted by German police and is the target of a smear campaign orchestrated by an Iranian opposition group and German newspaper Bild.
State-run Press TV quoted Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Hasan Qashqavi as saying that the mass-selling tabloid and the People's Mujahideen, an opposition group outlawed in Iran, were behind a "fabricated scenario" to discredit the diplomat by accusing him of molesting a girl in Frankfurt. (AP)
