*TEHRAN, Feb. 21 (Xinhuanet) – Iranian government spokesman Abdollah Ramezanzadeh said Monday that the domestic source of a report that claimed last Wednesday’s blast in the south of Iran was a result of a military attack could be legally prosecuted, the official IRNA news agency reported. *
*“I explicitly, announce that the source of the news is indictable according to the government and the Information Ministry,” Ramezanzadeh was quoted as saying. *
*“It should be clear that who was the source of the false report and what was his motivation,” Ramezanzadeh added. *
*The spokesman noted that the government expected those responsible for the publication of such false reports would not escape from investigation. *
*“People are entitled to know who was behind it,” stressed Ramezanzadeh. *
*A large explosion was heard Wednesday in the southern Iranian coastal city of Daylam, and local residents said they saw an aircraft flew overhead then. *
*Daylam is located in the Bushehr province, 180 km away from Iran’s first nuclear power plant. *
*It was later announced by local security officials that the explosion was caused by dynamites used for road construction in a mountainous region. *However, a domestic news source reporting on the event had primarily said that the explosion might have been caused by military attacks. Enditem
