Iran has tested North Korea's Taepo Dong missile engine and plans to soon launch the missile in its first test flight. ---------------------- Middle East Newsline [ http://www.menewsline.com/stories/2003/january/01_28_1.html ] IRAN TESTS TAEPO DONG MISSILE ENGINE TEL AVIV [MENL] -- Iran has tested North Korea's Taepo Dong missile engine and plans to soon launch the missile in its first test flight. U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies are said to have concluded that the missile engine test took place last year. They assessed that Iran obtained the Taepo Dong engine around 2000. Ephraim Kam, deputy director of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, said Israeli and U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Iran has been testing the Taepo Dong engine as part of development of the Shihab-4 intermediate-range missile program. "Iran has obtained from North Korea the missile engine for the Taepo Dong-1," Kam told a recent news conference in presenting the center's Middle East military balance. "Iran has tested the engine and Israel and U.S. intelligence expect the first launch of the Shihab-4." NOTE: The above is not the full item.
