The Iranian government has offered an unreserved apology after a software mix-up temporarily prevented Iranians from accessing information about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and subsequent violent crackdown in China on the internet. "We forgot to re-set the new software when we first installed it," said a government spokesperson, adding "But we have now fixed the problem to filter out the appropriate unwelcome Iranian terms. Sometimes you just have to laugh!"
