TEHRAN, Iran -- Iran's foreign ministry on Thursday summoned the Iraqi and Swiss envoys to Tehran over the detention of five Iranian staffers at a diplomatic mission in northern Iraq, state-run television reported.
The broadcast said the ministry had summoned the ambassadors and "demanded an explanation" about the incident. Switzerland represents American interests in Iran, where there is no U.S. embassy.
The summons followed an early morning raid in Iraq, where multinational forces stormed the building of an Iranian consulate in the Kurdish-controlled northern city of Irbil, 220 miles from Baghdad.
The troops detained the five staffers and confiscated computers and documents, according to local Kurdish officials in Irbil.
It didn't take long for the folks in Irbil to contact Reuters, AP and the BBC!

Gregory asking Rice if US forces are going to arrest or kill al Sadr....
Oh, and off topic, David Beckham to sign with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team....
Switzerland?! What, was it a choice between them and France?
Let the games begin.
We're coming for you, Iran.
I could have swore it was the annoying Gregory who is the President's official critic in the Press Gallery. If I am incorrect, then I apologize but I thought it was Gregory.
remember, mistakes are always made in war..and these days, with the media and the world against us...it will happen. I do think the gloves are off and its time to clean house. Iran has been put on notice and we are going to fight this war, the way is should be fought...HARD! Our men and women need to be unleashed, they are incredible human beings and fight better when their hands aren't tied. God Bless all of them!
Good. Let this be the start of something Patton could be proud of.
Thx for the info on Beckham, the news article I read didn't state which team.
