[Iran must have supplied the petrol for these petrol bombs then-ed]
Britain has accused Iran of responsibility for explosions which have caused the deaths of all eight UK soldiers killed in Iraq this year.
A senior British official, briefing correspondents in London, blamed Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
He said they provided the technology to a Shia group in southern Iraq. The Iranians had denied this, he added.
While UK officials have hinted at an Iranian link before, this is the first specific allegation to be made.
They may feel there is little to lose right now by making such accusations, given that diplomatic relations are already low following the breakdown of talks over Iran’s nuclear programme, says the BBC website’s world affairs correspondent, Paul Reynolds.

Blair finding a pretext to support the soon to be US campaign against anti-Israeli Iran. This is the British government attempting to soften up anti-war public opinion in the case Israel calls for conflict.
