Nato troops in Afghanistan have intercepted an Iranian shipment of rockets to the Taliban that would have allowed them to double the range of their attacks, western diplomats have said.
Markings had been removed on most but not all of the rockets. They had a green fuse plug, supposedly unique to Iranian-made rockets.
“There are at least elements of the Iranian regime who are determined to make life difficult for us,” a European diplomat said. “We have always suspected that there was a flow of arms, but we can never be sure how much of it we are find and how much we are missing.”
