quote:DUBAI (Reuters) - An unknown aircraft fired a missile on Wednesday in a deserted area near Iran's southern port city of Dailam in Bushehr province, where the country 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.
There was no immediate reaction from Iranian officials over the blast, Al-Alam said.
Iran's Russian-built 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor, its only nuclear power plant, is due to start operating in Bushehr province in late 2005.

Due to the onging Zahra Kazemi affair, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a Canadian missile.
Oh, wait. We don't have a military to speak of. Dang. I had my hopes up for nothing.
