Iranian media erupted on Wednesday with an unsubstantiated rumor that US Secretary of State John Kerry was not injured earlier this week in a simple fall from his bicycle in Switzerland, but rather he was the target of an assassination attempt while meeting with Islamic State terrorists.
The Iranian media has been known to report "conspiracy theories" in the past, such as a September report that Israel was spearheading a dangerous global plot to spread the Krav Maga martial art worldwide and a December report that Israel was building settlements in Iraq.
The latest Iranian report, first published by the Nasim news agency and subsequently picked up by dozens of Iranian news sites, based its information on "an American news website" which cites a Russian foreign intelligence service report as the source of the information.
According to the report in Nasim, Kerry secretly met with one of the leaders of Islamic State on Sunday. The meeting eventually led to an armed clash and an attempt to assassinate the US secretary of state.
Kerry's meeting, in which the alleged assassination attempt took place, was with Gulmurod Khalimov, a senior Tajik police commander, trained in the United States, who announced his defection to Islamic State in a video released last week, the report states.
Having received training from the US State Department previously, Khalimov was well aware of State Department security procedures and he used the knowledge to get another member of his entourage into the secret meeting with Kerry, with the intention of assassinating him, the report claims.
The report cited communications intercepted by Russian intelligence from France, the US and Switzerland as confirming that two other people were shot in the incident, one of them fatally.
The story of Kerry breaking his femur in a bicycle accident in Switzerland was then concoted to hide the real source of his "grave injuries," according to the report.
I’m sure it has something to do with a video no one has heard of before. You would think trained assassins would have done a better job?
Our enemies would never be insane enough to kill this sissy boy dhimmi.
Kerry has security that is probably pretty close to what Obama has.
I’d be more likely to believe he told his secret service detail to fetch him some Grey Poupon and got his ass kicked.
Friend? Just because he’s useful doesn’t mean they like him.
As if Kerry, et al, are not really on their side.
My BS meter is off the chart!
Fat lot of good that sissy helmet he wore didn’t protect his leg. Should have worn it there instead.
That said, for Mister Kerry to be brave in the face of such a reported attempt is a level of courage, and a level of brave understatement that I sincerely doubt that he possesses.
If Mister Kerry were injured as described, I suspect that he would whine and snivel and cry and blame; and then pretend to be some sort of hero.
I could be wrong, however it would take several credible sources to make the case.
.
Are they sure this didn’t happen at the WACO BIKER SHOOTOUT ?
"After the terrorists killed the last of my security detail, they turned toward me with knives and assault weapons. I mustered all my training and experience from my combat days in Viet Nam, and proceeded to kill each terrorist with my bare hands. I took an RPG to the leg, but continued fighting."
etc., etc.
You forgot the Muslim schism. Kerry was helping the Shi’ite Iranians to get the Bomb, while the Tajik general is Sunni.
perhaps his helicopter was shot down and he had to flee for hisl ife alongside brian Williams and billary
Well maybe. After all he did serve in Vietnam, don’tcha know.
See post #33.
I buy your theory.
See post #33.
I considered that. But you have to remember the (paraphrased)
Our people against theirs, Our countries against theirs, Our tribe against theirs, Our house against theirs, me and my brother against out father, My brother against myself” mentality.
.....and our Sunni Muslim sect against your Shia Muslim sect.....
