General's death in blast prompts sabotage theory

General's death in blast prompts sabotage theory: "LONDON: A commander in charge of Iran's missile development program was among those killed in Saturday's explosion at a Revolutionary Guard base near Tehran, it has emerged.

Iranian authorities, which confirmed Brigadier-General Hassan Moghaddam's death, said the explosion was caused by an accident as ammunition was being moved. The status of its main victim, however, will add to speculation that it was an act of sabotage aimed at the country's nuclear weapons program.

Richard Silverstein, a US-based commentator with good sources in Israeli-military circles, said it was the work of the intelligence agency Mossad co-operating with the exile group the People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK)."
