TERROR:IRAN RECEIVES THAT WHICH IT EXPORTS

Iran: 5 Revolutionary Guard Commanders Dead in Terror Attack
by Hana Levi Julian

(IsraelNN.com) Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard proved itself as vulnerable as the general population Sunday when a suicide bomber killed five of its senior commanders in an attack in the Pishin region. Among the dead were the deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guard ground force, General Noor Ali Shooshtari, and the regional commander, Rajab Ali Mohammadzadeh.

The terrorist, who killed at least 20 people and wounded dozens of others, blew himself up near a car in which the Revolutionary Guard commanders were traveling.

A statement by the Guards quoted on Iranian television accused "foreign elements" of perpetrating or inciting the attack. "Surely foreign elements, particularly those linked to the global arrogance, were involved," the statement said. The term, "global arrogance" is a code often used in Iran to refer to the United States.

The attack took place in the Sistan-Baluchestan province in the southeastern section of the country, near the borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan, according to the IRNA and Fars Iranian news agencies.

Iranian parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani confirmed the deaths and condemned the killing of the Guards. He told lawmakers during a legislative session broadcast live on state radio, "We express our condolences for their martyrdom... The intention of the terrorists was definitely to disrupt security in Sistan-Baluchestan Province."

There has been no claim of responsibility by any terror group for the attack on the Guards, the elite security force for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

However, the region has been the base for numerous attacks by the Jundallah (Soldiers of God), a group of Sunni insurgents that have waged war against the Shiite majority government. The group is comprised of men from the Baluchi ethnic minority that resides in the region.

Showdown with Iran: Sooner Rather than Later?

We may be closer to a showdown with Iran than most people think…here’s the most recent news:

The Pentagon is speeding up delivery of a colossal bomb designed to destroy hidden weapons bunkers buried underground and shielded by 10,000 pounds (4,535 kilograms) of reinforced concrete. Call it Plan B for dealing with Iran, which recently revealed a long-suspected nuclear site deep inside a mountain near the holy city of Qom. The 15-ton behemoth - called the “Massive Ordnance Penetrator,” or MOP - will be the largest non-nuclear bomb in the US arsenal and carry 5,300 pounds (2,400 kilograms) of explosives. Pentagon officials acknowledge that the new bomb is intended to blow up fortified sites like those used by Iran and North Korea for their nuclear programs, but they deny there is a specific target in mind.
