IRNA quoted ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi saying officers did not arrive quickly after the disturbance was reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He said the troublemakers were members of an extremist organization he did not identify, IRNA said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;It is necessary for the French government to take serious measures to protect Iranian diplomatic missions in that country,&#8221; Ghasemi said, according to the news agency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A Paris police spokeswoman gave a somewhat different version Saturday of what transpired on Friday afternoon, when she said &#8220;individuals&#8221; threw objects and smashed windows at the embassy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The spokeswoman said the responding officers searched 12 people, but didn&#8217;t take anyone into custody because embassy personnel didn&#8217;t want to file a complaint.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy zoloft online <a href=\"http:\/\/healthdirectionsinc.com\/Information\/Forms\/pdf\/zoloft.html\">http:\/\/healthdirectionsinc.com\/Information\/Forms\/pdf\/zoloft.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> She provided information about the incident but would not give her name, a common police practice in France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Ghasemi said some suspects were arrested and Iran has asked the French government to prosecute and punish them, IRNA reported.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy vidalista online <a href=\"http:\/\/healthdirectionsinc.com\/Information\/Forms\/pdf\/vidalista.html\">http:\/\/healthdirectionsinc.com\/Information\/Forms\/pdf\/vidalista.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p> Tehran is doing its own investigation of the commotion and the allegedly tardy arrival of Paris police, the news agency said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Paris police spokesman said she did not have information about the motives or identities of the people outside the embassy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Iran&#8217;s powerful Revolutionary Guard last week claimed responsibility for a missile attack targeting an Iraqi base of Kurdish separatist group Party of Democratic Kurdistan of Iran.
