Iranian Protesters Call for Israel's Annihilation
[Los Angeles Times] Ramin Mostaghim and Kim Murphy - More than 150 students pelted the British Embassy in Tehran Sunday with firecrackers and a smoke grenade, demanding an apology and the closure of the mission following Iran's detention of 15 British sailors and marines in the northern Persian Gulf. Shouting slogans such as "Death to Britain" and carrying banners with a call to "finally wipe Israel from the face of the Earth," hard-line Islamist students attempted to scale the embassy walls.
