OK now - Iran and Argentina?

From the Associated Press:
Turkey holds suspicious Iran-Venezuela shipment
Turkey was holding a suspicious shipment bound for Venezuela from Iran because it contained lab equipment capable of producing explosives, a customs official said Tuesday.

Suleyman Tosun, a customs official at the Mediterranean port of Mersin, said military experts were asked to examine the material, which was seized last month, and decide whether to let the shipment to go to Venezuela.

Authorities detected the equipment during a search of 22 containers labeled "tractor parts," Tosun said. They were brought to Mersin by trucks from neighboring Iran, he said. Turkey's Interior Ministry said an investigation was under way.

"Experts from Turkey's Atomic Institute determined there were no traces of radioactive material, but said the equipment was enough to set up an explosives lab," Tosun said. "We have asked the military to send experts to determine whether to resume the shipment."

Some barrels, labeled with "danger" signs, contained chemicals. Tosun said details were still unclear.
Way to go Turkey! Goes to show that you can be Muslim and pro Peace. Tractor parts? Come on now. And Argentina -- Chavez is no friend of the west but the idea that he supports Islamofascism makes my blood run cold. He has the money from his oil reserves and if he is charting a pro-Islamic course with Argentina, this will be very bad for the rest of the world.
