Bomb In Mosque Kills 15 in Iran...yes IRAN...Was This The Long Reach of Al Qaeda?


I don't know about you but it really doesn't pain me much to see terrorist attacks against Iran...LOL. This is a bit like a mass murderer getting offed when he returns home from a fresh kill. The interesting part of this, of course, is that Iran doesn't see that many terror attacks and also, this one reeks of al Qaeda planning.

So, we have fifteen dead Iranians in a mosque and here's the article at Breitbart that describes the group that more than likely pulled this off:


An explosion in a mosque killed 15 people near Iran's volatile border with Pakistan and Afghanistan on Thursday and a local official said it was a terrorist attack.
The blast went off in Zahedan, the capital of a lawless province that frequently witnesses clashes between police and gangs involved in drug smuggling. It has also seen attacks by an Islamic militant group called Jundallah, which claims to be fighting for rights of Sunni Muslims in mainly Shiite Iran but is suspected of al-Qaida links.

The blast went off as the mosque's cleric was delivering a weekly speech denouncing the Bahai faith and Wahabiism—an austere brand of Sunni Islam practiced mostly in Saudi Arabia, according to local news reports. Such speeches are not unusual in Iranian mosques.
We know from our experience with al Qaeda in Iraq that mosques are a favorite target of al Qaeda and the links to this group, Jundallah, further help point the finger to al Qaeda and more than likely the al Qaeda personnel in neighboring Pakistan.

Wouldn't it be interesting if the Iranians lost their heads on this and tried to retaliate against al Qaeda in Pakistan? hahaha. I mean, we could literally see al Qaeda and Taliban running around inside of Pakistan...with the Pakistani army on their heels along with some Revolutionary Guards from Iran and the whole time, about three divisions of Indian forces on the border just waiting for a piece of 'em too! It would be a beautiful site, wouldn't it?

Anyway, to the mullahs in Tehran, I can only hope you will see an attack like this each and every day for the next year and then perhaps you will better understand the Israeli way of life living next to your henchmen, Hezbollah and Hamas.


Explosion in mosque kills 15 in southeast Iran

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - An explosion in a mosque killed 15 people near Iran's volatile border with Pakistan and Afghanistan on Thursday and a local official said it was a terrorist attack.
The blast went off in Zahedan, the capital of a lawless province that frequently witnesses clashes between police and gangs involved in drug smuggling. It has also seen attacks by an Islamic militant group called Jundallah, which claims to be fighting for rights of Sunni Muslims in mainly Shiite Iran but is suspected of al-Qaida links.

Alaeddin Mazari, a local journalist in Zahedan, told The Associated Press that the explosion occurred in the second biggest Shiite Muslim mosque in the city, some 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) southeast of the capital, Tehran.
Ali Mohammad Azad, the governor of Sistan-Baluchistan province where Zahedan is the capital, told the official Islamic Republic News Agency the explosion happened at 7:45 p.m. (16:15 GMT) and said a terrorist was involved, but didn't provide further details. He told state television that he detained some suspects who planned additional attacks ahead of the June 12 presidential election.
The state news agency said 80 people were injured in the explosion and no group had taken responsibility. It quoted an unnamed official as saying part of the mosque was destroyed and rescue teams were transferring the bodies of the dead and injured.
In 2007, Jundallah, or God's Brigade, killed 11 members of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards in Zahedan.
Sectarian violence has been rare in other parts of Iran, but not totally absent.
Iran hanged three men last month for their involvement in a bombing inside a packed Shiite mosque in April 2008 that killed 14 people in the southern city of Shiraz, about 550 miles (885 kilometers) south of Tehran.
The blast went off as the mosque's cleric was delivering a weekly speech denouncing the Bahai faith and Wahabiism—an austere brand of Sunni Islam practiced mostly in Saudi Arabia, according to local news reports. Such speeches are not unusual in Iranian mosques.
Iran's Revolutionary Court said the three were members of the Iran Royal Association, a little known monarchist group that wants to overthrow the country's ruling Islamic establishment. It said they had ties to the U.S.
Tehran has repeatedly accused the U.S. and Britain of backing militants and opposition groups. Both countries deny it.

It doesn't matter to me if it was black-on-black violence (Al Queda v. Shia) or an operation by the government of Iraq (perhaps some Sunnis there gettin' some revenge or the Shia government making Iran pay for its interference.). I love it. Payback be a beeatchhh.

Iran hates these assholes already - which is why in the weeks after 9/11 any Taliban caught slipping over the border was scooped up and handed over to the Americans.

Federale - The Shia run Iraq now, we won the Iran/Iraq war for Iran. Iraq's Shia are the last ones who would do this.

Iran made Muktada Al Sadr - that would be like the IRA bombing a Catholic church in Dublin, not going to happen.
So our government lied to us when they said that Iran turned over Talibans that crossed into their country?
