Rocket hits Iranian oil depot

TEHRAN, March 21: An oil refinery depot in southwestern Iran
close to the border with Iraq was hit by a rocket on Friday,
and two people were injured, Iranian government sources
said.

Tehran immediately lodged a diplomatic protest at the
violation of its airspace by US and British planes.

The protest, lodged with the British ambassador in Tehran
and his Swiss counterpart, who looks after US interests in
Iran.

Iranian officials said it was not clear where the rocket,
which hit the depot in the city of Abadan, had come from.

"When it happened the city of Abadan shook," Hossein, a
government employee, said. Abadan is about 50kms east of the
southern Iraqi city of Basra, and on the opposite side of
the Shatt al-Arab estuary from Iraq's Faw peninsula.-AFP
