Iran suspected of launching satellite

Dubai: Satellite images suggest Iran has attempted a second satellite launch despite US criticism of its program. Iran has not acknowledged conducting a launch.

Images released early on Thursday by the Colorado-based company DigitalGlobe show a rocket at the Imam Khomeini Space Centre in Iran’s Semnan province on Tuesday. Images from Wednesday show the rocket was gone with what appears to be burn marks on its launch pad.
