Iran says building hit { March 22 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2499920,00.html http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-2499920,00.html Iran Says Missile Hits 1 of Its Buildings Saturday March 22, 2003 4:10 AM TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - A missile hit a government building in western Iran near the Iraqi border Friday, injuring two people, an Iranian lawmaker said. The Foreign Ministry also accused U.S. and British warplanes of violating Iran's airspace as they engaged in the war on neighboring Iraq, the official Iranian news agency reported. The ministry summoned the ambassadors of Britain and Switzerland - which represents U.S. interests in Iran - to protest, the Islamic Republic News Agency said, without giving details on the violations. The missile struck an Oil Ministry building in Abadan, said Mohammad Kianoush Rad, a legislator for the southwest Iranian province of Khuzestan, where the city is located. Two people were injured, he said. ``This is unacceptable,'' he told The Associated Press. ``We hope this was only a stray missile.'' He said it was not clear where the missile had come from. Abadan is about 30 miles east of the city of Basra in southern Iraq, which was under attack by U.S.-led forces. An Iranian government spokesman, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh, confirmed that a missile had landed somewhere in Iranian territory near the Iraqi border, but he would not give details. However, he said that Iran had demanded explanations from the Swiss and British embassies in Tehran. The United States has not had diplomatic relations with Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
