| Iran Says Shahab-3 Missile Entirely Iranian, Production Ongoing |
| 2005-05-06 |
| Iran said Thursday its Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missiles was entirely comprised of locally-made parts and that production was continuing. "The Shahab-3 missile is entirely Iranian and has been designed by the domestic specialists," Defense Minister Ali Shamkhani was quoted as saying by state television. Production "is continuing", the report added. Iran has recently upgraded the Shahab-3 ballistic missile, believed to be based on a North Korean design, to have a range of at least 2,000 kilometres (about 1,200 miles) -- leaving arch-enemy Israel and US bases in the region well within range. Tehran's steady progress on its ballistic missile programme is a major cause for concern among the international community, particularly Israel, which is already alarmed over Iran's nuclear activities. |

| #7 Ah, but the 'raineeanns ain't really arab are they? Sorry, the arabs can't get full credit for this one even if you disregard lil Kim's contribution. Militant Islam is a novel arab scientific discovery though! Psychological conditioning that seems to selectively kill off most of it's adherants' brain cells sparing the brain stem and thereby allowing them to live and think to a minimal degree. |

| #5 'entirely comprised of locally-made parts' - well , thats reassuring aint it Actually, it is to me. See the fisking the moose limbs take in the ''Science is Arabic'' RB column on pg. 3! Makes me feel better, in that, they're more likely to experience an ''accident'' on their turf before lighting one of these off. What's goin' on this week (actually, this reassures me that we're making progress) with lil' Kim screamin' ''Look at me'' by firing missile near Japan and now the MM's screamin' ''Look at us'' by stating this? Both are in desparate need of our ''attention'' and quick. |
