Gates "Concerned" over Iran Missile Test
(AFP) U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is "clearly concerned" over Iran's test of a medium-range missile, his press secretary Geoff Morrell said on Wednesday. Iran Wednesday test-fired what it said was a faster version of its Sejil medium-range missile with a range that would allow it to reach targets inside Israel. The two-stage Sejil, powered by solid fuel, is capable of traveling 1,240 miles, which would put Israel, most Arab states and parts of Europe, including much of Turkey, within range.
