Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the target of a failed assassination attempt on Wednesday in the city of Hamedan in western Iran.
A handmade grenade struck one of the vehicles in a convoy accompanying the Iranian president. Ahmadinejad was not injured in the attack.
The vehicle carried journalists covering Ahmadinejad, several of whom were injured in the incident, television station Al Arabiya reported.
The blast took place in Hamedan as Ahmadinejad was about to address a crowd. He gave his speech as planned and it was broadcast live on state TV.
A source in Iran's presidential office denied the reports of the assassination attempt, Press TV reported.

While I don't usually wish people dead, this clown if of the Devil and needs to die. Then they need to get Khamenei because he is the head nutcase.
How long before they blame Israel? This could also even be a set up by the Iranian government and be used as pretext for war against Israel.

He may have escaped death this time, but he got the message.
If they can get to his convoy, they can (and will) eventually get to him.

Somehow we should have helped them when they demonstrated, instead of standing by and watching.

I was just going to say, it sounds like “Baghdad Bob” was back, but you beat me to it! :-)
Couldn’t have almost happened to a nicer guy. Maybe next time, someone will do their homework and make sure what car he’s in!
Oh, Wikileaks, where are you????
