Naval commanders in Iran have built over 9,000 'suicide' speedboats that contain deadly explosives engineered into their hulls. The vessels - to patrol the Persian Gulf where UK forces operate - will be piloted by extremist 'martyrs', the Sun reports. Around 30,000 kamikaze captains are being trained to steer the ships, a source claimed. There are plans to build 15,000 of the six-metre vessels. Their C4 explosives go off when rammed into larger ships. An Iranian defector asked to design the crafts revealed the secret plot after fleeing the country.
