Misplaced Hypocrisy in Iran Bombing

By Nasser Karimi And Lee Keath, Terror News
TEHRAN, Iran – A Sunni insurgent group said it carried out a double suicide bombing against a Shiite mosque in southeast Iran to avenge the execution of its leader, as Iranian authorities Friday said the death toll rose to 27 people, including members of the elite Revolutionary Guard.

The insurgent group, Jundallah, has repeatedly succeeded in carrying out deadly strikes on the Guard, the country's most powerful military force — including an October suicide bombing that killed more than 40 people. The new attack was a sign that the group is still able to carry out devastating bombings even after Iran hanged its leader Abdulmalik Rigi and his brother earlier this year.

(Alan Note: Although Obama knew very well that the Mullah regime had tortured and murdered the first brother, head of the Baluchi Jondollah resistance movement, he pressured Pakistan to remove the second Rigi from a hospital bed in Peshawar and seliver him by private jet to the Mullahs in Iran, who tortured the heck out of him and recently hanged him - or as some reports claim, his already torture-dead body).

Shiite worshipers were attending ceremonies marking the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein, when the first blast went off at the entrance of the mosque in the provincial capital Zahedan. The male bomber was disguised as a woman, local lawmaker Hossein Ali Shahriari told the ISNA news agency.

Inside the mosque, a cleric was reading from the Quran in front of lines of faithful sitting cross-legged on the floor when the building suddenly shook from the blast and screams were heard from outside, according to footage taken at the time and aired on Iranian state TV.

As people rushed to help, the second explosion detonated 20 minutes later, causing the majority of the deaths and injuries, ISNA reported. The technique is often used by Sunni militants in Iraq to maximize casualties.

Members of the Guard were among the worshippers, particularly because the ceremonies coincided with Iran's official Revolutionary Guard Day. The deputy interior minister, Ali Abdollahi, told the Fars news agency Thursday that several Guard members were among the dead.

Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastagerdi told ISNA on Friday that the toll stood at 27 dead but could still rise, with another 270 injured, including 11 in serious condition.

Iran accuses the United States and Britain of supporting Jundallah in a plot to weaken Tehran clerical leadership, a claim both countries deny. On Friday, officials blamed them for the latest attack.

Gen. Hossein Salami, deputy head of the Revolutionary Guard, told worshipers at the main weekly prayers in Tehran that the victims "were martyred by hands of mercenaries of the U.S. and U.K."

He was echoed by influential lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi who said "America should be answerable for the terrorist incident in Zahedan."

President Obama condemned the attacks as OUTRAGEOUS, saying in a statement that the deaths of innocent civilians in their place of worship is an "intolerable offense" and that those responsible for the blasts must be held accountable.

(Alan Note: No such outrage against the targeted Mullahs for slaughtering thousands of dissenters in the streets and arresting and torturing/raping tens of thousands more throughout the Obama Administration period.

Was it because it was his Moslem namesake "Hussein" day and an affront to Obama?)

In New York, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the suicide bombings saying "this senseless act of terrorism at a place of worship makes it all the more reprehensible," U.N. associate spokesman Farhan Haq told reporters at U.N. headquarters.

Jundallah has been waging an insurgency for years in the remote Sistan-Baluchistan province, a lawless area where smuggling and banditry are rife. The groups says it is fighting for the rights of the mainly Sunni ethnic Baluchi minority, which it says suffers discrimination at the hands of Iran's Shiite's leadership. Iran has accused the group of links to al-Qaida, but experts say no evidence of such a link has been found.

Iran executed Jundallah's leader in June in Zahedan, a month after hanging his brother Abdulhamid Rigi, who had been captured in Pakistan in 2008 and extradited to Iran. The group named a new leader, al-Hajj Mohammed Dhahir Baluch.

In a statement posted on its Web site, Jundallah claimed responsibility for Thursday night's blast, saying they were to avenge Abdulmalik Rigi's death. It showed pictures of two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests, identified as Mohammad and Mujahid Rigi, apparently members of the leader's clan, though the site did not specify their relationship to him.

The group said its "sons of the faith ... carried out tonight a heroic unprecedented operation at the heart of an assembly of the Guard at Zahedan," claiming to have killed more than 100.

Jundallah has repeatedly targeted the Revolutionary Guards. In its deadliest attack, a suicide bomber hit a meeting between Guard commanders and Shiite and Sunni tribal leaders in the border town of Pishin on Oct. 18, killing 42 people, including 15 Guard members.

The group struck another mosque in Zahedan in May 2009, killing 25 people. In February 2007, a Jundallah car bomb blew up a bus carrying Revolutionary Guards in Zahedan, killing 11.

(Alan Note: 27 dead in a mosque are an outrage to fervent Islamist Obama but thousands (same race and country) but opponents of his buddy regime in Iran is a "ho-hum" yawn and not worth making as big a fuss about.

AND OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALLY LABELED THOSE STRIVING FOR FREEDOM AGAINST THE MULLAHS AS TERRORISTS!!!!! (admitting this "error" in court today.

America is starting to wake up! Hurry! Hurry!

Edict Suggests Senior Mullahs Move Away from Nuke Targets

A few months ago. for their own safety, a slew of middle level clerics/mullahs, aghast at the Green Iranian demonstrations against the regime "emigrated" out of the holy Iranian city of Qom and fled to the holy city of Najaf in Iraq, home to the most senior Shia Moslem in the world, Grand Ayatollah Sistani.

Other than sending a personal assistant to Qom to relay his "discomfort' at the way Supreme Ruler in Iran, Ali Khamenei has handled the uprising in a violent, brutal fashion, Sistani has kept out of the fray and avoided issuing a fatwa (religious edict) against the torture, rapes and murders of protesters.

Enter Soroush. As a young man, he found himself in a position of strategist and tactician for Ayatollah Khomeini in the early days of the revolution and eventually became an established advisor on policy. (Soroush is not his real name and he adopted this nickname meaning (roughly) "religious messenger of miracles" to suit "job" and avoid being identified in an official fashion.

Seeing the strength of the anti-regime demonstrations and fearing possible Israeli/Western military attacks leading to Shia Islam being "eradicated" in Iran if all the senior clergy were killed he has issued an edict for all of them to seek shelter in Najaf so they can restart a rebirth of Shia Islam.

Meanwhile, the Islamic regime in Iran, at odds how to stop the movements against them, including from various splinters of opposing clerics, has resorted to executions to drive fear into the hearts of the opposition. They executed FOURTEEN "dissidents" today. And declared that they have another two dozen in line to be hanged shortly.

Interestingly, fear and suppression have failed to cow the dissent which has to also deal with leaders like Moussavi, Karroubi, Hatami and Rafsanjani putting out statements supporting the Islamic regime but attacking the Khamenei administration, if effect weakening and diluting the focus of demonstrations, who want a regime change but find their leaders falling short in this respect.

The kernel of this commentary is how seriously the Mullahs are taking the probability of a highly lethal and widespread attack in the near future or at least taking the clerics away from the discomfort of an effective sanction on trade with Iran and banning travel of these people to destinations outside Iran.

What is heartbreaking is the direct and indirect support of Obama, in Jihad Moslem fashion, for this bloodthirsty and brutal regime, which deflates opposition protesters psychologically to where instead of being encouraged by support from America surging ahead, instead they see their Mullah enemy receiving the support the dissenters want.

Without a doubt, Obama's every action supports Islamic desires and benefits under the false pretense if unclenching our American fist just as everything Jimmy Carter did benefited the Soviets to a point where the comment came about that "Carter was the best Soviet president America ever elected.

With his low life, inept, inexperienced street level thuggery mindsets and almost fanatical and ideological insistence to destroy as much of our nation before his ability to do so evaporates in the November elections where he loses control of both the Senate and Congress he has comfortably taken away the title of America's worst president ever from Jimmuh the idiot Carter.

It was hard to imagine anyone being worse than Carter until Obambi hit the town with his criminal enterprise and weird czars and total deaf ear to what the American people want.

Resulting in, so far a rule by tyranny! Right now America is no longer a free republic, except in name but in the coils of the Obama serpentine tyranny, where his people pass huge bills they have not read and without input accepted or examined from Republicans or Independents. And most other bills by voice votes where passage is a subjective evaluation by one of their own and avoids any record of who voted for what.

And the one party criminal enterprise does not even allow all of their own to contribute. Instead the leadership writes up bills behind closed doors.

Unless America wakes up and votes the Democrats and turncoat Republicans out of office and thus puts brakes on budgets/funds on Oba-Hussein's nefarious plans, we can say goodbye to our country forever and try to live in a bankrupt, lunatic, tyrannical environment created by someone who has never had to run anything, not even a coffee shop or tiny business and has no clue of life outside his street level, Chicago style thuggery he used in his neighborhood organizing strong arm mindsets.

WAKE UP AMERICA AND VOTE THESE SCOUNDRELS (to be polite) OUT OF OFFICE AND SAVE OUR NATION!
