Well, for starters, it says so right in the article posted above, wit,
A Sunni militant group which some believe is linked to al Qaeda claimed responsibility. Jundallah, or God's Brigade, has also been blamed for past attacks on Iranian troops.
You can also read its Wikipedia article for more basic background. It is an Al Qaeda affiliate based in Waziristan, Pakistan, the main Al Qaeda and Taliban stronghold. Supporting Jundallah seems like a stupid, short-sighted move for US policy makers.

Fair enough.

Uh, whatever you say. What evidence do you have (BESIDES CNN quoting IRNA quoting the perp) that "US policy makers" are behind this???
I've learned to never underestimate the talent for short-sightedness possessed by US policy makers. ;)

So are the Sunnis our friends now, or are our friends just the Shiites?
I'm confused. I thought the Shiite were our friends in Iraq, not the Sunnis.
As I said before, Al Queida will attack anyone who doen't agree with it. They even fought the Taliban in Afghaninstan before 9/11, and have fought with Islamic Jihad in Egypt, GIA in Algeria, and Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon. They have even fought each other on occasion.
Many other Islamic terrorist groups are appauled by Al Queida's wholesale attacks on other Muslims and see them as a corrupting force.
