ARTICLE SNIPPET: “KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan — Canadian Defense Minister Peter Mackay last night accused Pakistan and Iran of supplying weapons to insurgents, only half an hour before a rocket disrupted his Christmas game of field hockey with the troops here.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Ottawa, he said, has already protested to Iranian officials over the export of weapons or bomb components.
“We are very concerned that weapons are coming in from Iran and very concerned that these weapons are going to the insurgency and keep this issue alive,” Mr. Mackay said. “We have certainly made our views to the Iranian government about this known.””
