Photos 'show Iran arms-ship link'

Israel has released documents and photographs which it says prove that a shipment of weapons it seized in the Mediterranean originated from Iran. The photographs show containers bearing the logos of Islamic Republic of Iran's Shipping Lines (IRISL). Israel said the containers held 500 tonnes of arms. Israel also released what it said was a customs form stamped by Iran's army. Damascus and Tehran have both denied the weapons were headed for Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, via Syria. The Antiguan-flagged vessel, Francop, was boarded by Israeli navy personnel near Cyprus on 4 November. It was then taken to the Israeli port of Ashdod and its cargo impounded.
