Iran's Press TV has taken another bizarre swipe at Canada's treatment of aboriginals.

The state-owned, English-language TV network this time alleges First Nations children in Alberta are being abducted from their parents by anti-terror police and then sold to adoption agencies, the National Post reports.

The report, which Press TV aired Monday, alleges children are taken on the pretext they're being neglected, then placed with non-aboriginal parents. It's part of a larger government policy to eradicate First Nations culture and keep aboriginals from claiming their rights to a share of Canada's resource riches, the report says.

It also ties the so-called abductions to the notorious defunct residential school system with wording that suggests it's still operating. The last school closed in the 1980s and provinces have also abandoned the practice of placing First Nations children in non-aboriginal homes unless there's no alternative.
