Report: Israel Behind Deadly Explosion At Iran Arms Depot 
----------------------------------------------------------



Seventeen members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard died on Saturday in
a massive explosion at an ammunition depot west of Tehran. The dead
included General Hasan Moghaddam — a key figure in Iran's missile
program. The explosion destroyed the base which housed Iran's stockpile
of Shahab missiles — a missile capable of reaching Israel. Iran
said the explosion occurred while military personnel were transporting
munitions, but Time Magazine quotes an unnamed Western intelligence
source saying the Israeli spy agency, Mossad, carried out the attack.
