Iran Said To Aid N. Korean Missile Launch

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- Iran was said to have financed the latest launch of a
North Korean long-range ballistic missile.
Officials said the Teheran regime was believed to have financed the
April 4 test of North Korea's long-range Taepo Dong-2 missile. They said
Iranian representatives attended the launch in North Korea as they did a
test in 2006.
"Today's actions not only show North Korea's advancing military
capabilities, but also the growing and dangerous partnership between North
Korea and Iran," Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the ranking Republican on the
House Foreign Affairs Committee, said. "Iranian missile experts reportedly
aided the preparations of this latest long-range missile test, just as they
were present for Pyongyang's previous test on July 4, 2006."
