ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Some 1,300 Iranians have already volunteered to carry out suicide bombings against "the Israeli occupation of Palestine", this according to the administrator of the suicide bombing recruitment center to Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet.

Speaking with a reporter from the newspaper, Afrusa Rajafar, who runs the recruitment center, said that 1,300 people have already signed up for the once in a lifetime experience. Recruits go through relatively easy training says Rajafar: "all they have to know is how to push a button".

Iran ready to supply Lebanon with anti-aircraft arms

TEHRAN (AFP) - Iran is prepared to supply anti-aircraft weaponry to the Lebanese armed forces, its ambassador to Beirut has been quoted as saying. ADVERTISEMENT

"Iran is ready to supply modern anti-aircraft arms to Lebanon," said Iranian ambassador Mohammad Reza Sheibani after talks with Lebanon's army chief Michel Sleiman in Beirut late on Saturday.

The United States accuses Iran of supplying arms and financial support to its Hezbollah allies but Tehran vehemently denies the allegations.

Hezbollah fought a month-long war against Israel earlier this year that was marked by deadly Israeli airstrikes on targets in Lebanon but the Lebanese army largely stood on the sidelines.

The army has since said it was in market for anti-aircraft and anti-tank weaponry.

According to the state-run IRNA dispatch from Beirut Sunday, Sheibani also called on "Lebanese political groups to maintain their unity to foil plots" of Iran's arch-enemies Israel and the United States.

His comments came as Lebanese politicians were to return to roundtable talks on Monday to discuss a possible change of government amid threats to resort to the streets by both Hezbollah and the anti-Syrian parliamentary majority.

Meanwhile, Iran rejected claims by the United States that there was mounting evidence Iran, Syria and Hezbollah were preparing plans to topple the government of Lebanon.

"These are repetitive allegations and without foundation. Iran supports the independence, national sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon," said foreign ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini.
