Bomb kills 11 on military bus in Iran

TEHRAN, Iran — 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."

The bombing was the worst attack in years in the lawless corner of Iran near the Pakistan border, where drug gangs and militants have carried out attacks in the past.

Why would Al-Qaida carry out terrorist activities in Iran?

Or maybe the drug traffickers were responsible

1) "A semi-official news agency"

2) "Officials did not confirm the claim"

Why would we debate why would AQ carry out the attack?

It also might be tubby sadr who has fled to Iran with his leadership team.

Looks like maybe the chickens have come home to roost.

A little sectarian payback maybe?

Ah, the irony of the situation is too much to bear.

This is the problem with terrorism: it comes back to bite the terrorists and those who support it! The genie is out of the bottle; how will it get back in?

Bear in mind also that the news agency reporting this is called "Farce".
