Klasse. :] Genauso muss man mit diesen westlichen Kriegshetzern umgehen.

Da es bis jetzt noch keinen deutschen Artikel dazu gibt, will ich eine kurze Zusammenfassung liefern. Es ging darum, dass Reuters einen Artikel veröffentlicht hat in welchem die englische Nachrichtenagentur behauptete, dass der Iran rund 3000 Frauen zu Kampfmaschinen nach fernöstlichen Vorbild ausbildet um sie gegen eine mögliche Invasionsarmee einzusetzen. Der Iran hat das jetzt bestritten und Reuters wegen Verleumdung des Landes verwiesen.

TEHRAN — The Tehran bureau of international news agency Reuters has been "suspended indefinitely" because of a report it issued mischaracterising Iranian female ninjas as "terrorists," authorities said on Monday.

The head of the department in the culture and Islamic guidance ministry that monitors foreign media in Iran, Mohammad Javad Aghajari, announced the decision in a statement published by the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

"The decision was taken following the production of a video clip by this news agency's video department branding some Iranian female athletes who practice ninjutsu as terrorists," he was quoted as saying.

The report referred to was sent to Reuters clients in early February and showed female ninjas training in the city of Karaj, northwest of Tehran.

Reuters said last week the report went out with the headline "Thousands of female Ninjas train as Iran?s assassins" but, after complaints were received from Iran, it was changed to "Three thousand women Ninjas train in Iran".

Iran's state-funded Press TV reported that several female ninjas in the story planned to sue Reuters for defamation.

In a report on Monday, Press TV said Reuters had failed to apologise for accusing the female ninjutsu practitioners of being "undercover assassins in the service of the Islamic Republic."
