False Alarm on Iranian Plane?

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said that the Iranian plane that stopped in Turkey en route to Syria, on Wednesday, was not carrying any unusual cargo. According to earlier reports, army forces searched the plane for weapons and items used for the production of nuclear weapons. "We gave the Iranian plane advance permission to pass through Turkey en route to Syria," the Foreign Ministry said. "The agreement was that it will land for an inspection. We did not spot anything unusual in the plane's cargo and allowed it to continue." The report came a day after commandoes raided a vessel loaded with arms en route to Gaza, which Israel believes was sent by Tehran. It was halted 200 miles from Israel's shore.
