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.

US said that it is possible that the drone went down due to mechanical failure, but not due to hostile fire......

This case becomes "I say, you say".........it reminds me of Shahram Amiri case: Iran said the guy was kidnapped by US....US said that the guy defected voluntarily.....but in the end IRI does not believe Amiri was kidnapped.......he ended up in IRI's jail!

***************************

I think there are 2 possible scenarios: the drones crashed into Persian Gulf or IRI shot down the drones inside Iraq....

I look forward to seeing the wreckage!
