Iran says explosion caused by road blasting
TEHRAN (AFP) Feb 16, 2005
A powerful explosion in southern Iran on Wednesday which raised jitters of a possible attack on the country's nuclear installations, was a result of road blasting, a senior security official said."It was an explosion set deliberately to blast through rock and open a road," Supreme National Security Council spokesman Agha Mohammadi told AFP. "In no circumstances was it an attack against the Islamic republic's nuclear installations."
