At least 11 people were killed when a car bomb exploded near a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards Wednesday in the southeastern city of Zahedan.

I hope this is a trend.

[gotribe]

sunnis? shiites? iraqis? Brits? Americans? We'll probably never know.

[SolidWood]

As long as the Revolutionary Guards keep dying, all is fine. Next time they should get some Mullahs.

Hmmm, Iran seems to be having a little "boom" problem this week.

[vigilence]

I would hypothesize and say that this is the work of Al Quida. They are Sunni and the Iranians are Shia so no love is lost anyway. But by pricking the Revolutionary Guards noses they know they will overreact and blame the Jews, inflaming the Middle East that much more.

[Irish Eyes]

Very interesting, gives one hope.

"In December 2005, a car carrying President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was ambushed when he was on a visit in the same province. The attack, near the city of Zabol, killed one of his bodyguards and wounded another. Further details of that attack have not been disclosed."

Hmmmm....

WHO WAS BEHIND THIS????? ;-)

The Slimes are greatly saddened.

Now wouldn't it be sad if the car bomb was made out of parts that had been shipped by Iran to Iraqi insurgents and then were confiscated by the coalition forces and then somehow (I don't know how) but somehow, these weapons ended up in the hands of insurgents in Iran?

Wouldn't that be sad?

Quite frankly I don't think our intelligence agencies are smart enough to pull anything like that off. But it would be juicy if the insurgent attacks stopped happening in Iraq because of the increased level of coalition activity and then suddenly a wave of insurgent violence started up in Iran.

There was another explosion in the same area today.

WHO WAS BEHIND THIS????? ;-)

How many aircraft carrying Revolutionary Guard officers have gone down, hmmm? The mullah's have trouble in Baluchistan, Khuzestan and Kurdish areas, the Bakhtiaris are troublesome... The Iranian Nutjob made a whole lot of enemies in sunni Arab States when he threatened to close down the Straits of Homuz. How many enemies does he want?

[Fred Nerks]

There was another explosion in the same area today.

I want to see something co-ordinated - attacks on the mullah regime from three, four, five regions at once!
