TEHRAN, Iran - Iran's official Arabic language television channel aired short
video clips Sunday showing what it said were two of the 15 captured British
sailors pointing to a map of the Persian Gulf.
The two, who appeared in separate video clips wearing military fatigues and
pointing at the same map, were talking to a camera but the channel did not
air their voices. The newscaster said the two "have confessed" to "illegally"
trespassing in Iranian waters.
An Iranian Farsi-language TV station aired the voices of the two crew
members from the new video.
Al-Alam satellite TV said the two sailors were identifying where their boat
crossed into Iranian waters on March 23, leading to their capture. Iran insists
the sailors illegally entered its waters, but Britain says the team was in
Iraqi waters.
