Iran’s Missile Capabilities to "Guarantee Regional Peace"

By Mehr News Agency
Aug 3, 2003

TEHRAN - Iran’s missile capabilities are a deterrent which guarantees its security and brings about peace to the region, Commander of the Army Air Force, Brigadier General Seyed Reza Pardis, said. Talking to the Mehr News Agency, Pardis said, “today’s world has become an arena for the global arrogance to attack other countries and if we want to confront it we have to be equipped with defensive technology and equipment.”

The equipment of the country with the sophisticated technology aims to defend he territorial integrity of the country, he added.

“Our defensive power enables us to give befitting response to any invader,” the senior army official announced. “We had some shortcomings during the time of our sacred defense, but thanks to God today we are equipped with suitable equipment.”

Referring to the propaganda of the Zionist regime against Iran’s Shahab-3 missiles, the commander of the Air Force said, the Zionist regime’s hands are tainted with the blood of the oppressed Palestinians, but it introduces Iran as a threat to peace.

“We announce that we will equip ourselves with whatever is necessary for the defense of our country and its territorial integrity,” the general noted

Iran detains al-Qaeda No.3

From correspondents in Washington
August 2, 2003

IRAN is holding Saif al-Adel, the third-ranking member of al-Qaeda, but has refused to hand him over to the United States, the New York Times reported today.

Iran will only surrender al-Qaeda members in its custody in exchange for members of the Iranian opposition group Mujahideen Khalq, many of whom are in US-supervised camps in Iraq, the daily said.

A US official approached Tehran through a third party about taking custody of Adel and other al-Qaeda figures but "did not receive a positive response," the Times quoted a US official as saying.

Among those held in Iran, according to US and Middle Eastern officials, are al-Qaeda's Kuwaiti-born spokesman Sulaiman Abu Gaith; Osama bin Laden's Saudi-born son, Saad; and Abu Masab al-Zarwaqi of Jordan, a close aide to bin Laden.

"We are confident that Iran is holding these people," a US official said.

Adel is thought to have arranged the triple suicide bombings in Riyadh on May 12 that killed 35 people, and to have played a part in the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which killed more than 200.

Tehran admitted in late July that it was holding prominent members of the al-Qaeda network but did not identify them.

It was "completing the files" on members of the terror network in its custody before deciding on their fate, foreign ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said in a press conference on Monday.
