به گزارش گوش بدهيد

Iceland's Prime Minister Geir Haarde said the decision to bring Iceland's biggest bank, Kaupthing, under state control was partly due to the actions of the British authorities. He was referring to the move yesterday by the financial services authority in London to close down Kaupthing's UK subsidiaries. But Mr Haarde was also angry this was done using anti-terror laws. He said he'd made his views clear to Alistair Darling during a telephone conversation:

HAARDE:
I told the Chancellor that we were not pleased with that and they could not regard us in any way as the people that this act is supposed to apply to - terrorists. And I think he agreed.

Mr Haarde went on to say that he thought there was a crisis in relations with Britain. But he added that he'd cleared up a number of issues with Mr Darling and that a British team would be arriving in Reykjavik shortly for talks on a number of outstanding issues.
