Iran Test Launches Long-range Missile

Iran Wednesday test fired its Sajjil-2 missile with a range of 2,000 to 2,500 kilometers that could reach Israel, the Middle East or U.S. military bases in Eastern Europe. Washington is fearful over the solid-propellant rockets, which are hard to detect and counter.
