Report: Unknown aircraft fires missile in nuclear province By Haaretz Service and Reuters
Iranian state TV reported Thursday afternoon that an unknown aircraft fired a missile in its Bushehr province, where Iran has its nuclear power plant.
"A powerful explosion was heard this morning on the outskirts of Dailam in the Bushehr province. Witnesses said that the missile was fired from an unknown plane 20 km from the city," Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said.
According to the reports, the missile targeted an area south of the city of Dailam.
Earlier Wednesday, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom said during a visit to London, that Iran was six months away from having the knowledge to build a nuclear bomb.
Iran's Russian-built 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor is due to start operating in Bushehr province in late 2005.
Tehran insists, however, that the facility is to produce atomic energy and not for a weapons program.
Hmm.. I guess Daylam and Dailam aren't the same city.
They just quoted Reuters quoting mullahs on 640 GST here in Atlanta.

Unknown aircraft fires missile in Iran - state TV
DUBAI, Feb 16 (Reuters) - An unknown aircraft fired a missile on Wednesday in a deserted area near the southern city of Dailam in the province of Bushehr where Iran has a nuclear power plant, Iranian state television said.
"A powerful explosion was heard this morning on the outskirts of Dailam in the Bushehr province. Witnesses said that the missile was fired from an unknown plane 20 km (12 miles) from the city," Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said.
Iranians want the mullahs out..but want nukes..What better way for the mullahs to garner support than to make the Iranians think their facilities are under attack?
Who else besides us, Israel, the Iranians would have an interest in this?
Said to have hit an unpopulated area....the fact that the Iranians did it themselves and now will blame us is not farfetched.
But I am wondering who else has a dog in this fight?
I like reading that one slowly.
It's in southeren Iran.....
Europe.
