Iranian Daily: BBC Correspondent Responsible for Neda Soltan's Death

Iranian media outlets quoted a report in the pro-Ahmadinejad daily Javan, which is affiliated with the IRGC, to the effect that a BBC journalist in Teheran, who has since been expelled from Iran, is responsible for the death of protester Neda Soltan.

The daily alleged that the journalist had hired a thug to kill a protester in order to film the incident.

MEMRI was not able to locate the Javan article in question.
