UNITED NATIONS June 29, 2004 — The U.S. government has expelled two Iranian security guards working at Iran's U.N. mission, citing activities "incompatible with their stated duties" diplomatic language for spying.

The guards were taking photos of infrastructure, modes of transportation and New York City landmarks, a U.S. official said Tuesday, speaking on condition of anonymity. They were the third set of Iranian guards caught taking pictures....

He said the two men, stopped by a transit officer, claimed diplomatic immunity and were ultimately not charged with any wrongdoing. The commissioner declined to label their behavior suspicious, but called it "unusual."

Iran is one of seven nations branded by the U.S. State Department on its annual list as state supporters of terrorism.

I get so tired of hearing that crap...if a crime is committed, it is committed. Diplomats know right from wrong!

i also love that when an American committs a crime in another country, they want to punish them to the full extent of the law.

Fuck the UN. Another reason to hate them. they bring spies into the country.
