TEHRAN, Iran – Iran said Sunday that the two U.S. pilotless spy planes that it claimed to have shot down were hit outside of Iran’s air space, a local news agency reported.
The semi-official Fars news agency quoted Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid, acting chief of the country’s armed forces as saying “the planes were shot down outside of Iran’s airspace.”
Gen. Rashid did not say why Iran targeted the planes even though they weren’t in the country’s air space. He did say Iran has the remains of the planes in its possession.
