An Iranian Islamic organisation which has been allegedly recruiting suicide bombers for carrying out attacks against Americans in Iraq and Israel has claimed to have mobilised 40,000 "time bombs", an Arabic media report said.
An Al-Arabiya TV broadcast claimed that the volunteers wanted to carry out "martyrdom operations to liberate Islamic lands", the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which translates news from Arabic media, said.
The chairman and spokesman of the World Islamic Organisation's
Headquarters for Remembering the Shahids, Mohammad Ali Samedi, claimed that his organisation began recruiting the suicide bombers a year and a half ago.
The organisation has since been "engaged in organising conventions, registering volunteer suicide bombers online, and providing guidance and training for martyrdom operations," he said.
The TV report claimed that some prominent public figures, including those close to newly elect Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, are supportive of the movement.
Veteran member of parliament, Mahdi Kuchak-Zadeh, from the prominent conservative party Coalition of Iran's Developers (Abadgoran) which backed Ahmadinejad, is said to be active in the organisation.
However, the spokesmen for the organisation have maintained for the last one year that it is an independent movement with no support from the Iranian government, the report said.
Kill them all before they kill themselves and others.
kinda seems like we could justify nuking Tehran, doesn't it?
What are we waiting for??? Make a parking lot out of Iran!!!!!!!!
Funny, I haven't heard of a lot of Iranians blowing themselves up. In fact, I can't think of one.
great
NO. This group exaggerates (to put it mildly).
And 10 million people live in Tehran.
I think thats called plausible denial. Its also BS if there are that many you can bet the Mullahs are behind it.
I can just imagine it now: The phone rings Abu;s Mommas answers it. " Its Ali Samadi, Abu , he says its time to report for your suicide bomb. He said be there by 8pm and dont be late the timer is already set." Do you want supper before you go?" No Ma it might upset my stomach. You know how hard it is to explode yourself on an upset stomach.
If they are truly so willing to die...I say we oblige them.
But I bet this is more rhetoric from the Iranian regime.
I am not so sure the average Iranian civilian is "truly" so ready to die.
It's amazing what those 40,000 (if that can be believed) would say if they didn't have the guns of their own government pointing at them.
?!?
Thank heavens you have nothing to do with making that decision!
Won't happen.
I thought I heard this week that visas granted to those from the Mid East and Muslim countries into the U.S. are up.
When I read this article below a few weeks ago, it ruined my whole day.

Officials lay bricks in symbolic start for Muslim center
June 14, 2005
The Dallas Morning News
PLANO TEXAS The Ismaili Muslim community announced Tuesday that it is building a $6.5 million worship and community center in Plano, where it has found a warm welcome.
Gov. Rick Perry flew in to lay the first ceremonial brick for the center's foundation. It was a symbolic gesture since the site for the new center will be a few miles northeast of the Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, where the foundation ceremony was held.
Haha...its funny how these idiots think they are being 'kewl' by bragging about becoming suicide bombers...
"I thought I heard this week that visas granted to those from the Mid East and Muslim countries into the U.S. are up."
I've heard just the opposite.
I'm with you on the side of skepticism. I think this is nothing but Arab bombast meant to deter attacks on Iran's nukes.
I'll see if I can find the link.
Let's go ahead and light up their fuses to save them some time.
