Iran State TV Suggests Neda's Iconic Death Was 'Faked'

Iranian state television has made a documentary about the death of Neda Agha Soltan, a young Iranian woman who was shot dead during the June post election protests in Tehran, suggesting she was an agent of the United States and Britain who staged her own death.  Neda's last moments were filmed on a cell phone and watched by millions of people around the world, becoming a symbol of democratic resistance to the regime.  The state-television documentary suggests the video of Neda's dying moments merely depicted her pouring blood on her own face from a special bottle she was carrying.  Later, the documentary alleges that 27-year-old Neda was shot dead in the car that was taking her to a hospital.
