DTN News: Crossbows and Bolts: A Dangerous Nexus Between The Iranian Missile And WMD Programs....NSI News Source Info # 1127
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 17, 2010: A firing test of a new Sijjil-2 missile on May 20, 2009, that featured an increased 2,400 km range and solid propellant engine, has marked the next dangerous stage of the ambitious ballistic missile (BM) program of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI). The purpose of this short report is to provide a brief analysis of different aspects of the program, establish a potential logical link between it and the nuclear program, developed by the IRI, and to offer possible explanations of the motivations behind the Iranian quest for what one may call a hybrid BM – WMD capabilities, with some potential scenarios of its application and implications.
