BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- U.S.-led multinational forces in Iraq raided Iranian liaison offices in the northern Kurdish town of Irbil Thursday. The forces detained consulate staff members and confiscated office equipment.

Iraq's state-run television network, Al-Iraqia, said the forces raided an "Iranian consulate," but the Iraqi Foreign Ministry described the building as a "diplomatic representation."

According to Iran's government-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), U.S. forces arrested five employees after disarming guards and "breaking open" the "consulate gate."


O brave new world, that has such people in it.
