Armed Men Raid Iranian Embassy in London

TEHRAN (FNA)- Several Britain-based Shiite extremists affiliated to Sadeq Shirazi sect attacked the Iranian embassy premises in London minutes ago, while menacing the staffers with cold weapons.

Early reports said the raiders are four men who have opened their way into the embassy premises, while threatening people on the scene with machetes and baseball bats. The London Police have reportedly deployed around the embassy but took no action in the first couple of hours after the attack.

The slogans chanted by the raiders indicate that they are members of Sadeq Shirazi Shiite extremist sect, supported by London.

Armed men but it doesn't sound like they had guns, "cold weapons" means not guns or explosives, "hot weapons".

Ya, "cold" weapons is a pretty strange term. So apparently things that shoot projectiles are "hot" weapons...

Police arrest protesters, this may be more like the story. The headline for post 1 is pretty dramatic.

This is truly ironic.

I lived in London in early 80s when a shot was fired from the Libyan embassy and killed a British policewoman.  The embassy was never searched for the gun and the killer got off free due to 'diplomatic immunity'.
