[Ha'aretz] Yossi Melman - According to Yiftah Shapir of the Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University, the Sejil 2 medium-range ballistic missile test-fired by Iran this week is unlike the Shehab 3, whose known range is 1,300 kilometers and is based on Soviet and North Korean Scud technology.

This suggests that it might be the Pakistanis who transferred technology to Iran for the development of the Sejil missile.
