Brother of Iran blast victim: He didn't die in missile test

None

Mohammad Tehrani Mogaddam, the brother of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander who was killed in a munitions depot blast last week, denied saying in an interview that his brother died while testing a ballistic missile.

 

In an interview with the semi-official Fars news agency, Mogaddam said that "We don't know what my brother was doing" while he died. He added that he asked the offending newspaper to print a retraction, stressing that "I have never said these things. I have no connection to the state's missile program." (Dudi Cohen)
