Eleven members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard were blown up by terrorists today. Or maybe “insurgents.”
A car loaded with explosives blew up near a bus carrying members of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards in southeastern Iran on Wednesday, killing 11 of them and wounding 31. An al-Qaida-linked Sunni militant group reportedly claimed responsibility.
The semi-official news agency Fars reported that the militant group Jundallah, or God’s Brigade, issued a statement saying it carried out the blast. But officials did not confirm the claim, blaming “insurgents and drug-traffickers.”
I love the way they pulled off the attack. Really, it’s practically a mirror-image of what the Iranians have been doing in Iraq, via their Iraqi proxies.
The attack took place near Zahedan, the capital of Sistan-Baluchestan Province, when a car packed with explosives pulled to a stop in front of the bus at about 6:30 am, the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported. The car’s occupants fled and seconds later the vehicle exploded, it said.
Eleven Revolutionary Guards were killed and 31 wounded in the attack, the provincial governor Hassan Ali Nouri told IRNA. He said one of the attackers was also killed in the blast, which he blamed on “elements of insecurity.” The report corrected an earlier toll of 18 dead reported by IRNA.
You reap what you sow, people. Terrorism is a bird that comes home to roost, and it comes home hard.
Loads more on Gateway Pundit.
Considering that Iran has been giving support to Al-Qaeda in Iraq, who are constantly attacking the Shi’a there, the irony is even more rich.
Like where? Car bombings in Iraq are practically all work of Al-Qaeda affiliates who are Iran’s enemies.
“Iran giving support to Al-Qaeda” is pure nonsense. The only “support” they give to Al-Qaeda is in refusal to give Al-Qaeda members they keep in prison to U.S. unless U.S. gives them the members of MKO terrorist organization that were hosted by Saddam and are now hosted by U.S.
