TEHRAN (Reuters) - A meteorite has hit northern Iran causing minor damage to property but there were no immediate reports of casualties, state radio has said.
It said the impact sent locals in panic onto the streets in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.
"A meteorite which hit Babol on Friday morning caused only some minor damage to residential units," radio said, without giving further details or citing any source.
It said the impact was felt up to one kilometre away.
Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

Well, let's hope the next 'meteorite' hits their nuke factory. We have to start speaking to them in the only language they apparently understand.

Another mystery: how did Bush manage that? The Lunar Mass Driver project must be ahead of schedule...

Frogs next?
That would explain the whole Air France thing.
To: MediaMole
No, the Air France thing more closely matches up to the plague of boils.

I wonder if we should be looking for Usama bin Laden in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.

Actually the whole country of France is most likely a very long-term plague of boils.

Origin: Klendathu. It's an ugly planet, it's a bug planet. To ensure the safety of our system, Klendathu must be eliminated... |
