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.
Offing Kerry would be the same level of stupid as a Superbowl team offing it’s star running back before scoring a winning touchdown with 1 second on the clock and the 1 yard line while the opposing team sat on the bench.
Their best friend is not the guy they want to kill. Muslims are a lot of stupid. But when it comes to matters of war, they are not THAT stupid.
I could see a star of their nutcase squad doing it on his own for 72 virginal boys, but no way are their leaders gonna go in on it and hurt their cause as a strategy.
He was for the curb, before he was against it.
ever hear of the Frog and Scorpion story??
its their nature...>
Of course! They whisked him away to the best veterinary hospital in Switzerland.

Now THAT is funny. :^)
Kerry is a clown. No need to assassinate him. He is useful for his uselessness.
Knowing Kerry, he was probably “hot dogging! With no hands.
‘Yeah, crashes and poison are their MO.’
They may have changed lately considering the number of bankers who fall from balconies.
In my opinion it is ill considered to think this is true. What foreign enemy in their right mind would attempt to eliminate him? He is their best ally.
If I’m negotiating with a putz who is bending over backwards to give me everything I want I would not be inclined to assassinate said putz. Of course, I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed.
I’m coming to believe that pretty much all the confused mess in the ME can be explained simply by the invoking the struggle between the Shia and Sunni branches of Islam.
Maybe they were practicing. I actually find the story quite plausible.
Didn’t ISIS threaten to kill Obama? All these responses are based on LOGICAL thinking, that Kerry is their friend. The MASSES of MUSLIMS can’t read and don’t even know Kerry’s name. BUT if ISIS could say they killed the SECRETARY of STATE of the UNITED STATES, how do you think that would effect their numbers? Bet they would get THOUSANDS of NEW RECRUITS just because they took out a top dog American. It’s not about Kerry, it’s about America, The Evil Satan.
Why would ISIS the guy that’s going to cave in to all their demands?
Because these people know nothing about the negotiations. They are subservient nimrods who spend their lives submitting to higher authority. Islam MEANS submission. They are told America is the Grand Satan and they believe it! Most can’t read or write and are totally uneducated. Don’t give them credit for being able to REASON.
Other reports said he complained about Sharia Law not being universal in the US yet & said he would make sure it was.... Perhaps Obama’s lies go both ways.
