quote[Iranian forces seized 15 British servicemen on Friday in the mouth of the waterway that separates Iran and Iraq, triggering a diplomatic crisis at a time of heightened tensions over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.
Britain said two boatloads of sailors and marines from the naval frigate Cornwall had searched a merchant vessel in Iraqi waters on a U.N. approved mission when Iranian gunboats encircled and captured them.
British Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said she was "extremely disturbed". Britain summoned Iran's ambassador in London and protested through its embassy in Tehran.]
This can't be good.
