This disinformation from the egyptian weekl al-Osboay is distributed by the tehran times:

"The U.S. Central Command was sure that the agents of the Zionist intelligence service Mossad had planned and executed the assassination with the help of some elements from the U.S. and Iraqi spies, Al-Osboa weekly said.
and "that there are reports that the terrorist Mojahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) is helping Zionist operatives in Iraq and is receiving direct help from U.S. troops, adding that there is a written agreement to this effect."

Comment: Unfortunately several people on the Arab street thinks that this is true. The best remedy is to spread litteracy - less than 50 % can read - and democracy.

Here are some good news:
9 September Associated Press
Iranian Dissident Cleric to Teach Again

A leading Iranian dissident cleric will resume his religious teaching next week after spending five years under house arrest, his son said Tuesday.

Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, 81, will begin teaching advanced religious studies Sept. 17 at a mosque close to his hometown of Qom, Ahmad Montazeri told The Associated Press.

Government officials were not available for comment.

The senior Montazeri was placed under house arrest in 1997 after telling his students that Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was incompetent to rule.

The Supreme National Security Council lifted the house arrest in late January as Montazeri's health deteriorated.

Montazeri is one of just a few grand ayatollahs, the most senior theologians of the Shiite Muslim faith, and has huge followings in the holy city of Qom and Isfahan, his birthplace.

Montazeri was once the hand-picked successor of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Islamic Revolution that ousted the U.S.-backed monarchy. But he fell out with Khomeini shortly before the leader's death in 1989.

Ruling clerics denounced Montazeri as a traitor in 1997 after he accused them of monopolizing power and ignoring the revolution's democratic ideals.
