TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian legislator confirmed earlier reports saying
that a US drone has been shot down by Iran over Fordo nuclear enrichment
plant in the Central Qom province.

Member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission
Ali Aqazadeh Dafsari said on Tuesday that the unmanned spy plane was flying
near the Fordo nuclear enrichment plant in Qom province when the Islamic
Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)'s Air Defense units brought it down.

The official stated that the US drone was on a mission to identify the
location of the Fordo nuclear enrichment plant and gather information about
the nuclear facility for the CIA, Dafsari stated.

Earlier this year, a senior Iranian military official had confirmed reports
on the shooting down of several enemy drones over the Persian Gulf, and said
Iran has targeted a large number of these pilotless planes during the last 7
years.

"We have experienced similar incidents many times in the past and there have
even been drones belonging to the occupying Zionist regime (Israel), the
United States and Britain which have been shot down in the Persian Gulf
during the past 7 years," the senior military official told FNA in January.

Also in January 2007, the Iranian military troops shot down a spy plane of
the US army when trying to cross Iran-Iraq borders in the Southwestern city
of Dasht-e-Azadegan, Khuzestan province.
