SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS The newspaper, citing sources, said the Shahab-3B missiles were moved after an Israeli air exercise over the Mediterranean, believed to be a dress rehearsal for an attack on Iranian nuclear reactors. The Iranian missiles have a range of 1,250 miles, putting Israel within their reach. But U.S. President George Bush has approved a link between Israeli defenses and a U.S. satellite detection system that would allow Israel to track the missiles soon after launch. Adm.
