TEHRAN --A bomb blast in a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday killed at least eight Iranians in southern Fars province and injured more than 50 people, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

"The death toll is expected to rise above eight because some of the injured people are in a critical condition," Fars said, without giving a source.

"During the speech of a cleric in the Shohada mosque in Shiraz city, a bomb blast killed several people," Fars quoted an unnamed source as saying.

Earlier, state television said the blast happened in central Iran, without giving details.

“During the speech of a cleric in the Shohada mosque in Shiraz city, a bomb blast killed several people,”

His last words were, “Somebody set us up the bomb”.

Just about to ask you the same thing, lol.

The Iranian people themselves will be told that Petraeus or Crocker personally planted it.

Who really did it? And who all was in the mosque? A mullah or mullah’s aide?

Beginnings of a revolt?

Have you ever read about anything going boom in Iran? I haven’t.

“A bomb blast in a mosque......”

That sure has a nice ring to it.

Hopefully it will become a popular hobby.

When this happened some good intel was gotten on the scrambling of mullahs and other higher ups out of the streets/public.

You’ll see soon, and laugh. It’s a funny cartoon about getting set up the bomb.
