LONDON:: A Tehran-based hardline group has claimed it is trying to recruit Iranians and other Muslims in Britain to carry out suicide bombings against Israel.

‘‘The Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign,’ which claims to be independent, said it is targeting potential recruits in Britain because of the relative ease with which UK passport holders can enter Israel, The Guardian reported on Wednesday.

Mohammad Samadi, a spokesman for the group, told The Guardian in Tehran that striking at Israel was a priority in its recruitment drive.
