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.

a "powerful explosion" I think would not be merely a fuel tank.
