Stop playing politics with Iran's war dead, families say-IRNA
 

By Sam Wilkin DUBAI, June 18 (Reuters) - The families of Iranian military divers killed in a 1980s war with Iraq have condemned moves to politicise a recent reburial ceremony, state news agency IRNA said on Thursday, in a likely reference to hardliners opposed to compromise with the West. A military spokesman said they had been captured and buried alive by Saddam Hussein's forces in 1986. In state television coverage of the ceremony, some members of the crowd could be seen holding up placards criticising Iran's negotiations with six world powers, which aim to curb Iran's nuclear programme in exchange for relief from international sanctions.
