Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour, a Shiite cleric who as Iran's ambassador to Syria helped found the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah and lost his right hand to a book bombing reportedly carried out by Israel, died Monday of the coronavirus. He was 74.
A close ally of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Mohtashamipour in the 1970s formed alliances with Muslim militant groups across the Mideast. After the Islamic Revolution, he helped found the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in Iran and as ambassador to Syria brought the force into the region to help form Hezbollah.

A book bomb? Who would do this?
Unless it’s a Koran bomb which is just delectable.
I didn’t really know they could read.
Put a bomb in the last place they’ll look, I believe is the saying.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were since they enjoy hanging with Hamas so much.
At least the COVID was good for something.
