U.S. Denies Iranian Claims of Drone Capture 
--------------------------------------------


 
The White House is denying Iran's claim of having captured a U.S. drone
in Iranian airspace. Iran has said it seized an unpiloted Scan Eagle
aircraft conducting surveillance over the Arabian Gulf. But speaking at
the White House, Press Secretary Jay Carney rejected Iran's claims.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney: "I can tell you that we have no
evidence that the Iranian claims you sight are true. I'd refer to you
the Pentagon's comments this morning for details about this particular
type of UAV, but again we have no evidence the Iranian claims are true."
