The Iranian media are quoting an article in the Javan daily, which is close to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) and supports Ahmadinejad, as saying that the BBC's correspondent in Tehran, who was recently expelled from the country, was responsible for the killing of Neda Soltan.
According to the paper, the correspondent asked a hired thug to kill someone so he could make a documentary film.
MEMRI has searched for the article in Javan but has not found it.
