Counterfeit Oranges------The story of apparently Israeli Jaffa oranges turning up in Iran took a new turn when it was discovered that it wasn't an Israeli Citrus Plot as some had accused, but counterfeit oranges that had originated in China.

Outrage followed, distribution centres stocking the fruit were sealed and accusations were traded.

Such is the infamy of dealing with Israel that an Iranian official went so far as to accuse the opposition of a "citrus plot".

This is such a tragic story; this poor woman. I can' even imagine what she has been through. At the same time I am amazed that she lived through the incident at all, and am even more awed (and a little creeped out) that they can transplant a face from a cadaver onto a living person.
