UK TV STATION:

"Ban It or We'll Bomb It!" -

A hardline Iranian religious group threatened on Wednesday to carry out suicide attacks on a UK-based Iranian exile TV presenter, saying Manouchehr Fouladvand's broadcasts were inflammatory and insulted Islamic values.

Mojtaba Bigdeli, the spokesman for the group, said the British government must ban the satellite channel run by Iranian exiles within 30 days or face the consequences.

"After one month, our commandos will carry out suicide attacks in London against the shameless presenter of the channel," Bigdeli told Reuters by telephone.

"He has crossed our red lines by insulting our prophet and Islamic values," Bigdeli said.
