Britain has accused Iran of helping to kill British soldiers in southern Iraq, a British newspaper reported on Thursday.

Six soldiers and two security guards died in the past three months, all victims of a new explosives technique supplied via Iran, The Times quoted a senior British official as reporting.

There was evidence that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard supplied the advanced technology that had helped Iraqi insurgents to kill British soldiers with the more lethal roadside bombs, the officialsaid on condition of anonymity.

“They were using technically advanced equipment that had previously been used by Lebanese Hizbollah, and they are linked with Iran. Therefore there was some indication that Iran was linked to those attacks,” said the official.
