2:07 pm
that it verified all these facts. the forged bill of lading that was presented to you here proves how iran tried to disguise the loading of the weapons contained in the ship. the loading of the weapon containers on its own soil. the ship's crew testified how they loaded the containers which contained the weapons. unknown to them. in the main port of iran bandor abbas. >> we're going oshow you the route that the israelis say it took, from damascus to tehran. then to the iraqi port of umkasa, where they were hidden in bags of cement. israel said they were sent through the red sea. and would have then been

2:09 pm
credibly in others' eyes as in other circumstances. >> these weapons were seized days back yet the announcement or the press conference was held today. >> well i mean if you just compare it to what happened in january 2002 then there was an alleged ship carrying aid that the israeli israelis allege waso yassir arafat. potentially also, brought iran into the axis of evil. it was the state of the union of the george bush was being drafted. what was so fascinating with that story is once it had that effect and the talks were scuttled, no one ever heard
2:10 pm

2:11 pm
it will have an impact on the current negotiations in 2002 and actually succeeded in scuttling those talks. unprecedented in its political isolation and the protection that both sides are giving it. clearly both sides it being in their interest to pursue those talks and come to successful conclusion rather than letting this type of political developments, true or not true, come in your way. >> good to talk to you, thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. >> the syrian and lebanese nuns have been welcomed in a church ceremony in damascus. the 13 nuns and three workers had been held by rebel fighters for more than three months. it's not known if they have all been released but al jazeera has obtained exclusive pictures showing that some have been set free.
