The man accused of killing Neda Soltan has been identified as Abbas Kargar Javid, a pro-government militiaman, after photographs of the Basiji’s ID cards appeared on the internet.
The identification challenges the Iranian regime’s claim that foreign agents shot the young woman, who became a global symbol of resistance to the Government of President Ahmadinejad.

May justice for darling Neda be swift and final.
Ping!

It’s not just his phone which has been disconnected, the regime has since killed this man.
And the reason for the killing was that Neda resembled the sister of an important female protestor the Mullahs wanted to kill and Neda was supposed to be a warning to that person.
Opportunistic target but not random. And he shot to kill but would clearly not admit this to a hostile crowd.
