The recent and, unfortunately, successful attack against an Israeli missile cruiser was accomplished using “an Iranian-made, radar-guided C-102, missile”. [Here](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060715/ap_on_re_mi_ea/lebanon_israel_83;_ylt=AulZK3mwSuB3ZDER.hWWs68UvioA;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9mBHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl) is one of many news stories describing it.

I have come up with very little about the C-102 system by web-searching. Does anyone have any information about it? Can anyone direct me to a webpage about it?

Thanks!
