Remember the mosque in Iran that was blown up a couple of months ago? The one where the Iranians first lied about and said it was some sort of explosion and then, when they couldn't hide that fact, they blamed the bombing of the mosque on the U.S. and Britain? Well, a previously unknown Sunni terrorist group (hard to call them terrorists when they are fighting the Persians) has claimed responsibility for the bombing. Here's the story from YNET:
Sunni group claims bombing of Iran mosqueWhat will be interesting to see in all of this is if this Sunni group is indeed legitimate and if so, if they are going to be supported, perhaps covertly, by Sunnis in the Middle East. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Iranians found themselves with their own version of home grown Hamas that is being funded by the Saudis? Hahahaha.
A little-known Iranian Sunni dissident group posted an internet statement saying it was behind a deadly mosque bombing in southern Iran, which Tehran blamed on the United States, Britain, and Israel.
"This is the very first operation and the signal to the criminal regime of Iran ... to stop its oppression, cruelty and injustice towards ... Sunnis," the Jihadi movement of the Sunna People of Iran said. The group said it carried out the attack, which killed 14 people in the southern city of Shiraz in April, to avenge what it said was the execution of two Sunni scholars in Iran's poor southeastern region.
