Iran says plans to test fire new guided-bomb soon

Iran's air force will soon test a new version of a 2000-pound guided-bomb, a top Iranian military commander said on Monday (March 01, 2010). Iran has built up its forces in recent years, developing missiles and other new weapons, ostensibly due to Tehran's concerns about the U.S. military presence neighboring Iraq and Afghanistan.
