Rocket Hits Oil Refinery Depot in Iran
2003-03-21
TEHRAN (Reuters) - A rocket hit an oil refinery depot in southwestern Iran close to the border with Iraq and two people have been injured, Iranian government sources told Reuters on Friday. The sources said it was not clear where the rocket, which hit the depot in the city of Abadan, had come from. Abadan is about 30 miles east of the southern Iraqi city of Basra. It hit the building around 7:45 p.m. local time, they said.
Boy, those Scuds really are inacurate. Or the Iraqi's just lobbed one that way for spite. Hope the Iranian's were watching on radar where it came from.

#3  Must be a rocket scientist. If I don't launch, then Saddam will shot me and my family. If I launch on Israel or Kuwait then I and my family will face retribution. If I send it...... Allah be praised. Yes, yes, I did faithfully carry out the order to launch as you ordered.

#1  I'm surprised the Iraqis haven't lobbed anything at Israel yet. Maybe Saddam really is dead/wounded, and most local commanders are too afraid to take initiative on their own.
