United Nations, March 30: Deploring the detention of 15 British marines by Iran, the United Nations Security Council yesterday demanded their immediate release.

In a statement, the 15-member Council asserted that the marines were operating in Iraqi waters as a part of the United Nations-mandated multi-national force at the request of Baghdad.

This was the first reaction of the Council since the Iranians detained the 15 British Naval personnel.

The Council apparently delayed its reaction to give time to the two governments to sort out the issue through diplomatic channels.
