Six Iranian consular officials left West Berlin under heavy police escort after they were ordered out of the western part of the divided city by France, Britain and the United States because of fears of possible terrorist attacks. Reporters saw the six being driven away toward the Staaken border crossing for the four-hour trip to Tehran’s consulate in Hamburg, West Germany, via a highway cutting through East German territory. A total of nine Iranians were ordered to leave by the Western Allies. It was not disclosed when the remaining three would leave.
