Deadly Bomb in Iran ?

category international | anti-war / imperialism | other press author Saturday May 30, 2009 02:32author by Miriam O Report this post to the editors

Did the US just bomb Iran ?

According to Reuters a massive bomb just rocked the South of Iran and many people have died.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - An Iranian official accused the United States on Friday of involvement in a mosque bombing that killed more than 20 people in volatile southeastern Iran, two weeks before a presidential election.

Washington denied the allegation, and strongly condemned the deadly attack.

Iran was bombed alright by Jundullah militants who of course are funded and trained by the US and the UK. But this has been going on for a long time now , so you dont need to panic , its not the end of the world.
Sy Hersh was making all kinds of predictions about what they were up to in SE Iran and that Bush was going to attack Iran before he left office. But it obviously didnt happen.
Beside with a level headed and straight thinking leader like Ahmadinejad at the helm, nothing can go wrong.

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2009/05/20....html

" In an interview with NPR on his latest New Yorker Article, titled ‘Preparing the battlefield’, the renowned investigative journalist Seymour Hersh reveals more striking details of his findings on the aim of the $400 million budgeted US covert operations inside Iran. He provides valuable information on US military preparations to strike the country, on the total expansion of the Bush Administration’s executive power, about the US recognition of Iran’s overall positive role in Iraq and on the US support for the anti-Iran terrorist organisations Jondollah, PJAK and MEK. "

They hung three people for it already.

Perhaps old war munitions were stored in the Mosque and exploded, this happened in the past. The Iranian Secret Police spun it as a bombing.

Shiraz mosque explosion
Not a terror attack, Iranian authorities say

BBC: At least 12 people have been killed and more than 200 wounded in an explosion at a mosque in southern Iran (April 12, 2008). Authorities in the city of Shiraz were investigating the blast, which some early reports had blamed on a bomb. But a local police chief told Fars news agency that he had ruled out sabotage, and that "negligence" involving old war munitions might be the cause.
http://www.iranian.com/main/singlepage/2008/shiraz-mosq...osion

That was the original strory. Then Iranian Terrorists (the military inteligence) decided to frame some people so they claimed it was a bonb attack. Beware of the forked tongues of the Iranian propagandists. Ahmadinejad and Obama are both terrorists and liars.

This is what the local police chief originally said:

"The incident could have happened as a result of negligence. A while ago at this site there was an exhibition commemorating the [1980-1988] Iran-Iraq war," Commander Ali Moayeri, police chief of Fars province, told Fars news agency. "The munitions left at the site could have the been the reason for this explosion," he added. The agency said he ruled out any act of sabotage.

So what made them change their minds? They just couldn't pass up on the opportunity of torturing dissidents and using the whole incident as an excuse to increase repression. Maybe it was the old munitions on dislay or maybe it was a black op by Iranian intelligence.

On this occasion it may be an Iranian Intelligence Countergang and prisoners will have their fingernails ripped out until they confess their "guilt"..
