Commenting on press statements by acting police chief Talai about the achievements of the police during the past twelve months, Mohammadi tells RFE/RL that the emergency unit and other new police services did not help lower the statistics of murder, violent crimes and robberies, partially because of coordination problems between police and judiciary. Detectives rely on torture and guess work to solve crimes since they lack training on new crime discovery equipment and techniques. (Mahmonir Rahimi) US Defense Secretary: Iran Sponsors Terrorism * US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, accusing Iran, Iraq and Syria of supporting terrorism in the Middle East, said that "murderers are not martyrs, and targeting civilians is immoral, whatever the excuse."

Police and city workers prevent merchants from rebuilding in the area. The city wants to move the market elsewhere and the provincial government has promised loans to shopkeepers. The American and European second hand clothes imported through Turkey attracted thousands of bargain hunters.

Two makers produced 90 percent of all cars, said the report, adding that the Islamic government's strategy is to increase the ratio of domestic components, protect the industry from foreign competition and expand auto exports. However, the low quality of the cars made in Iran makes the return on recent and future investments doubtful. The report calls for structural reforms in the industry, which seem impossible in today's political atmosphere.
