Meteorite hits Iran
Fri January 02, 2004 10:48 AM ET

TEHRAN (Reuters) - A meteorite has hit northern Iran causing minor damage to property but there were no immediate reports of casualties, state radio has said. It said the impact sent locals in panic onto the streets in the northern town of Babol in Mazandaran province.
"A meteorite which hit Babol on Friday morning caused only some minor damage to residential units," radio said, without giving further details or citing any source.

It said the impact was felt up to one kilometre away.

Iranians are currently mourning at least 30,000 people killed by an earthquake measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale which struck southeastern Iran on December 26.

1) Iran will interpret "Meteorite" as one of the lost tribes of Israel; then...

2) The ayatollahs will call it a "Zionist-American plot" designed to restore relations and re-introduce "decadent ideas". :roll:
