While Francisco has the records to prove his age, they are not the originals – which were burned during the Spanish Civil War.

If Guinness accepts the document, which was updated in the early 1970s, Francisco will become the oldest man in the world. »

Authored by uk.reuters.com

DUBAI Iran said on Sunday the London attacks were a "wake-up call" and urged Western states to go after ideological and financial sources of terrorism, state media reported, in a thinly veiled reference to Saudi Arabia.

Shi'ite Muslim power Iran and Saudi Arabia are longstanding religious and political arch-rivals and often accuse each other of backing terrorism.
