Officials in western Iranian city of Qasr-e Shirin on Wednesday denied as 'baseless speculation' an AFP report that a missile had hit the city. IRNA correspondents in Qasr-e Shirin say that on the seventh day of the US-led war on Iraq no missile or shell had hit Qasr-e Shirin. AFP quoted sources in Tehran as saying on Wednesday, "A further stray missile from the war in neighboring Iraq has hit Iran, although it caused no casualties or damage." The officials in charge in Qasr-e Shirin said no evidence is available to substantiate the missile raid. Governor of Qasr-e Shirin denied the report and said full security is prevailing in the regions bordering the city.
