Mosque Bombed in Southern Iran

Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 12:12:43 pm PDT

A curious report from Iran: Iran bomb blast kills 8, injures over 50 - agency.

TEHRAN, April 12 (Reuters) - A bomb blast in a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday killed at least eight Iranians in southern Fars province and injured more than 50 people, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

“The death toll is expected to rise above eight because some of the injured people are in a critical condition,” Fars said, without giving a source.

Very few details yet, but one suspect would be the MEK: Mujahadeen-e-Khalq (Iranian rebels).

The Lebanese official did not say exactly how the fighters were killed...

Shiraz is a major tourist destination because of its closeness to a number of important ancient sites.

Deadly bomb attacks are unusual in Iran. The last major bombing was by suspected Sunni rebels in the south-eastern city of Zahedan in February last year.

Thirteen members of the Revolutionary Guard were killed in that blast, which was caused by a car bomb

Why NOT use them to raise havoc in Iran?

I wouldn't use any terrorist group. If the MEK is responsible, then it is what it is. It is Iran's problem to deal with. But if one group of thugs is bitch-slapping another group of thugs, I'll take it. But I don't relish the idea of innocents as collateral damage.

Here is a chronology of some major bomb attacks in Iran:

Aug. 30, 1981 - President Mohammed Ali Rajai and Prime Minister Mohammed Javad Bahonar are killed in a bomb blast at the prime minister's office in Tehran.

June 20, 1994 - A bomb rips through the main hall at the Imam Reza shrine in the northeastern city of Mashhad, killing 26.

June 2, 1998 - An explosion kills three people at an Islamic revolutionary court in Tehran.

Sept. 16, 1999 - A bomb hidden in a garbage can near a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Mashhad kills two.

June 12, 2005 - A string of bomb attacks in Ahvaz, close to the border with Iraq, and in Tehran kill nine people.

Oct. 15 - Twin bomb blasts outside a shopping mall in Ahvaz kill six.

Jan. 24, 2006 - Eight people are killed when bombs rip through a bank and government building in Ahvaz.

Feb. 14, 2007 - A booby-trapped car blows up a bus owned by the Revolutionary Guards in Zahedan city in southeast Iran, on the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan. Eleven staff members of the Guards are killed and 31 injured.

April 12, 2008 - At least eight people were killed and 50 injured when a bomb exploded in a mosque in southern Iran on Saturday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.

Yep.

But MEK’s ideology, a blend of Marxism and Islamism, put it at odds with the postrevolutionary government, and its original leadership was soon executed by the Khomeini regime...
The group’s armed unit operated from camps in Iraq near the Iran border since 1986.

Interviewer: "Your commanders said you had to go out and fight..."

"Abu Sajjad": "Yes, and that we would be victorious."

Interviewer: "They said you would definitely be victorious?"

"Abu Sajjad": "If not, we would go to Iran. Why go to Iran?"

Interviewer: "Maybe to get organized?"

"Abu Sajjad": "No. Why go to Iran? We need to go on a hijra to Iran, liberate Iran from Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and then return to Iraq, bearing black flags, and topple Al-Maliki. They would topple Prime Minister Al-Maliki, and after that, the state of divine justice would appear. At that point, I began to wonder: What, is the prime minister against the Imam Al-Mahdi?"

I thought (maybe even hoped) that at first. But once you see the word Wahabi and Bahai it seems more state (mullah) sanctioned. The mullahs know something about the Wahabi/Sauds that our own country hasn't figured out, yet.

The regime of Iran is barbaric but if it was an opponent of the regime they should target the regime not a Mosque. If it was the regime targeting opponents, the regime deserves to be destroyed for more than just this.

I am elitist, so what? I'm bitter too!

I have a doctoral degree and I earn more than the average American, whoever that is. I drink tea and wear a hand-woven tie. But I'm bitter too because I can't afford to heat the whole house and fill the tank at the gas station daily and pay for my old parents' medical care, and I've put off getting married because I'm not sure I can afford it, and I work real hard. I want a President who understands that even tea drinkers have unemployed family to support and student loans to repay. That we're not all millionaires and that we're all hurting, too.

Bitter Resonance

Now he says people like me and those I know are "Bitter". It is exactly the right word for those of us watching what little we earn dwindle, the pride in our country crumble. It is a word most of us share, like deep black coffee and unsweetened tea between neighbors. A cup Barack Obama shares with us by using words of truth that resonate.

Not Angry or Bitter? Vote for McCain and Hillary! (with poll)

It's believed that the terrorist MEK/NCRI group is getting its intel from the Israelis. because Israelis don't want to be seen as the major player of the nuclear Iran problem. So they outsourced the public relation to MEK. How true this is, I dont know. I read about it a year ago.

64 blangwort  Sat, Apr 12, 2008 12:36:35pm

What the Arab Persian world needs is someone to teach them what non-violence is. I would like to get behind anyone who might bring about the downfall of this idiotic theocratic regime, but simply saying the Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend doesn't cut it.

I can't gloat over this mosque bombing. It merely polarizes two theocracies against each other and makes the people there angry enough to want to do more violence to each other. I want to see Dinnerjacket lose his job, not because he loses his life, but because Iranians discover the true depths of the evil disgrace that he is. This can not be achieved by fomenting instability. And sadly, I'm not sure what anyone can draw from in Islam's various sects that might encourage a person to stop this insanity.

If anything, events like this make me appreciate the likes of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. all the more. The towering example he set for the world is entirely too rare.

Bigger than first thought..sounds like a major attack....

..According to reports from Shiraz, a bomb blast at a Hosseiniyeh (a religious center) in a central Shiraz district wounded dozens of worshipers, some very critically.

Local sources say here that the explosion took part at central city of Fars Province's Seyyed ul-Shohada Hosseiniyeh.

According to IRNA reporter in Shiraz, the explosion wave was so strong that the glasses of the windows of many houses in neighboring regions of the Hosseiniyeh broke and intimidated the residents.

There are still no exact reports on the number of the wounded, or killed victims of the explosion, but the relief and fire station forces are currently present at the explosion site assisting the victims.

Some unofficial sources speak of a high number of casualties due to the blast.

IRNA would dispatch more complete reports upon receiving them

My son went to Montessori school. The teachers had a wonderful phrase to help the very little ones not "act-out".

"Use your words"

As spokesman for the 4/12 Troofers, I'd like to point out some facts.

1. Bombs and weapons of any kind are not allowed in Mosques.
These are Holy sites of peace. Not Bomb Labs!
2. No Jews showed-up for prayers today at that Mosque... Coincidence?
3. Fire can not melt steel!

This has Bush/Chenney/Halliburton written all over it. When are we going to wake-up and see that the peaceful religion of Islam is under attack by the neo-cons and Danish Film makers.

Excellent points. Does Cheney have an alibi?

re: #23 Gang of One

Don't go all gaga on theses MEK people, fellow lizards. They're leftists and anti-Western. They're anti-Mullah because the Mullahs represent religion, which in the Marxian Universe® is doubleplusungood. They are as bad as the Islamofascist flavor terrorists. This is not a case of TEOMEIMF.

Good point. The MEK are hard-core Marxist terrorists who carried out assassinations against U.S. military personnel and oil workers in Iran back in the 1970s, and its members were involved in the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November 1979. They were allied with Saddam Hussein, who gave them safehaven prior to his sudden but not untimely retirement from office. They are not our friends.

That said, I have no sympathy for the Iranians when they themselves become the victims of terrorism. (Especially when their Revolutionary Guards guys get blown up. Hee hee). I get awfully tired of their Iraqi proxies shooting rockets at me and trying to blow me up with EFPs, and I can't help but feel a touch of schadenfreude when they get a taste of their own medicine.

When it comes to the MEK vs. the Iranian regime, it's just a shame both sides can't lose.

House - much, MUCH too large for a single person. He must have a maid.

Miles - He lives far away from work and should really thing about moving closer or using mass transit

RCP has one artlcle entitled "Opponents Paint Obama as an Elitist," from the Wash Post, and one editorial from the NYT, "Opponents Call Obama Out Of Touch."

Its swirling around the conservative blogosphere, though.

'Small-Town' Remarks, Big Fallout

Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh told reporters the small-town comments make Obama vulnerable against the Republicans if he’s the nominee and should cause uncommitted superdelegates to think twice before casting their votes.

“The far right wing has a very good track record of using things like this relentlessly against our candidate, whether it’s Al Gore or John Kerry,” he said. “And I’m afraid this is the kind of fodder they might use to really harm him with.”

Someone should produce the Islamist version of It's a Wonderful Life.

Of course, it would be called It's a Wonderful Death.

The plot would go something like this:

Abu-George is offered a job in a bomb-making factory, but he wants to go to Mecca and Medinah first.

Al-Potter steals Abu-George's child bride, Donna HavSex, and adds her to his harem.

This makes Abu-George bitter, so he blows up a bridge, the Interest-free Bank, and Al-Martini's hookah salon. 47 people die, and 157 are maimed.

Then Mohammed himself emerges from a firey hole in the ground promising Abu-George an endless supply of virgins if he continues his "good deeds for Allah."

Unfortunately, there are no Jooos in Al-Pottersville to slaughter, so Abu-George starts work on a nuclear missile, but then he has a "work accident."

And they all died happily ever after.

re: #65 savage_nation

Just drove through Davenport this week on my way to/from Cedar Rapids. Not nice weather they had projected for the weekend. Anyway, to stay on topic...

I'm saddened by the loss of life, but this "instability" will be met with more force from the mullahs. More innocents are going to die for this.

re: #126 mitthrawnurdo

I think I'm getting a clearer picture of this individual.

This person is an English professor that lives about a gazillion miles from their college of employment. He/she/it has a large home, even though he/she/it is single, so that all he/she/it's buddies in the English lit department can partake in pot parties where they can either watch CNN in absolute rapture or dove into the hidden truths of Marx's writings.

As for vehicle choice - that was easy, an antiquated "hippie van", replete with 20 moonbat bumper-stickers such as: "Impeach Bush!" and "No War for Oil!", and "Arms are for Hugging!", ect, ect.

Am I getting closer?

I actually live in a house previously owned by an English professor (and some time before that, a musician with the Boston Symphony). And it is far enough out of Boston that a gas hog would need to be filled every day or so.
But we're not moonbats (clearly!) Most of the other people in the town aren't exactly moonbats, but do keep voting for Dhimmicrats in the state elections. But then, this is Moonbatachusetts.

Hrmm the story I read conflated the Revolutionary guards attack with this, but it turns out that this was potentially a Bahai meeting - that puts MEK as highly unlikely, Jundullah/BLA is still a possibility (they hate all "impure" strains of Islam, and traditionally pick on Shia) but also as likely is Shia v Shia : Sistani Faction vs. Qods

Maybe it was this mosque that was being reflected in Cheney's sunglasses?

Iran is in a lot of hurt. The Shiite vs Sunni war that they started in Iraq just crossed the border. Just wait till the Saudi comes in and all hell break lose in Iran.

On the bright side of things, the Shiite and Sunni in Iraqi is figuring out that both side are not going away so they have to live with each other.

Things blow up alot in the middle east.
Trying to figure out a logical reason for this one is just going to your make your head hurt.
In the end, someone blew up a mosque because he thought Allah wanted him to.
Same shit, different day.

Terrorism is terrorism, and it disgusts me to see Lizards approving of this barbaric act.

200 shiplord kirel  Sat, Apr 12, 2008 11:38:05pm

Unless Hezbollah trainees or the RG were using the mosque for a training session or something similar (which is admittedly not impossible), this is a barbarous act of terrorism.

The most likely perp is the communist gang known as MEK. It is almost a law of nature that the mullah regime and its leftist shills in the west will blame Israel and the US. The irony is that leftists themselves are probably responsible to some degree through their support of the global leftist NGO networks, with whom MEK has solid Marxist credentials.

The last major attack in Iran was a February 2007 strike by suspected Sunni rebels in the city of Zahedan in the southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan border province that killed 13 members of the elite Revolutionary Guards.

That attack was the deadliest such strike to have hit the Islamic republic in years.

Hojatoleslam Anjavinejad, whose first name was not given, had been preaching against Wahhabism -- the ultra-conservative form of Sunni Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi commandos in Iran? Get me some popcorn!

I couldn't imagine two more worthy parties to now engage in brutal warfare.

(with one another)

Or work accident -
(?)

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - minuteworld Iran's official news agency says that police believe an explosion that ripped through a packed mosque in the city of Shiraz was not intentionally set.

The casualties in Saturday's blast had risen to 11 people dead and 191 wounded by Sunday.

The IRNA news agency reports that Gen. Ali Moayyedi's investigation found remnants of ammunition from a military exhibition recently held at the mosque. Moayyedi says he rejects the possibility of an intentional bombing and that the leftover ammunition could have caused it.

A police official said Saturday that a homemade bomb caused the explosion. Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Sunday that no group has claimed responsibility.

Stupids.

(regardless of scenario)

MEK has 10,000 members!? When Iran finally rounds 'em up, they better call Crane Works.

204 mk14617  Sun, Apr 13, 2008 6:46:16am

The MEK may well have executed terrorist attacks in the 1970's, but I see little evidence of their terrorist nature today. Recently, British and European courts have concluded that there is no evidence MEK is a terrorist group, or even a group that advocates violence at all. MEK was declared a terrorist group in the USA by the Clinton administration at a moment when a "rapprochement" with the Iranian regime was envisaged by Madeleine Albright. So, I just don't know -- blaming MEK for this seems groundless to me unless I see some evidence.

205 Checker77  Sun, Apr 13, 2008 7:14:32am

Bombed? or maybe the ammo dump in the basement blew up.

206 ConServaPat  Sun, Apr 13, 2008 8:03:04am

There's a poster at FPM who frequently comments on the website. I believe he's a member of MEK. His screen name is SAM111. He says this bomb blast was carried out by the mullahs. That every time they get into trouble, they commit an atrocity like this against their own people so they can blame the MEK or the US forces in Iraq.

207 winston06  Sun, Apr 13, 2008 8:27:08am

Update: More than 200 injured, 12 dead by far (Although I am hearing that more than 24 have died)

208 pesca  Sun, Apr 13, 2008 10:21:04pm

The report I heard said that the imam in that mosque was speaking against the extreme Wahabi islamic movement ... so ... that would make sense.
