TEHRAN -- An explosive was thrown at the motorcade of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in central Iran on Wednesday, witnesses said. But his office quickly denied any attack had taken place, saying a "firecracker" had gone off.

Witnesses described the incident as minor. One person was arrested, according to accounts posted on Iranian Web sites.

After the incident, Ahmadinejad gave a previously scheduled speech, which was broadcast live on state television. He appeared unhurt. Media reports said his car was about 100 yards from the site where the explosion occurred.
