TEHRAN (Reuters) - A senior Shi'ite Muslim cleric who has challenged Iran's system of clerical rule was arrested on Sunday after his supporters clashed with police outside his house in the Iranian capital, Iranian news agencies reported.
Ayatollah Mohammad Kazemeini Boroujerdi was detained with several supporters, Iran's student news agency ISNA quoted the deputy governor of Tehran, Abdollah Rowshan, as saying.
The Iranian authorities are wary of any challenge, particularly from top clerics, to the system of clerical rule that was established after the 1979 Islamic revolution by revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Some of the other stories weren't clear on wether or not he was arrested. Hopefully this will trigger a full scale revolution against the mullahs.

Good. His arrest ensures worldwide coverage whereas last night's events might easily have been buried. ;-)

He did not have enough time to stir the pot enough to get coverage. They will squash this like a bug.

Looks like they're armed and ready for a fight, too. I hope none of them got hurt during the arrest, and if they did I hope they gave as good as they got.

Thanks for the news, TexKat.
I can't help but wonder what, if anything, will happen next. Perhaps this will be the spark that starts the fire. Prayers for the Regime Change and those brave ones involved.

Thanks for the ping! I added "Breaking News" to the topics... but I do not know if it will be allowed to remain. This is a crucial event, IMHO.

That's probably the 40 arrested in #7.
