BAGHDAD, April 6 (Reuters) - There were no Iranians in an International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) team that visited five detained Iranians held by the U.S. military in Iraq, the military said on Friday. U.S. military spokesman Major-General William Caldwell had said on Wednesday one member of the ICRC group was Iranian. "We are clarifying what came out of the press conference on Wednesday from General Caldwell," said military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Garver. "There have been two ICRC visits to the detained Iranians in Arbil. On one of those visits there was an individual who was a member of the delegation who spoke Farsi and lived in Iran but was not an Iranian national by birth." Caldwell said the five Iranians, who were detained in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil in January, were suspected of being intelligence agents. Iran says they are diplomats and has demanded their immediate release. The five are accused of links to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard group that the U.S. military says supplies weapons to Shi'ite militias.
