Ahmadinejad Vows to Avenge Revolutionary Guard Suicide Bombing

Readers Number : 1468

18/10/2009 At least 29 people, including senior military officers and tribal leaders, were killed when a suicide bomber blew himself up at a meeting of the elite Revolutionary Guards in southeastern Iran on Sunday, the interior ministry said.

"Based on the information... as a result of today's terrorist action... so far 29 people have been martyred and 28 have been wounded," the ministry said on its website.

"The martyrs include several innocent Shiite and Sunni people, tribal chiefs and commanders of Guards (including senior officers in the Iran Revolutionary Guards Corps including deputy chief of the ground forces Brigadier General Nour Ali Shushtari). Very soon we will catch the perpetrators of this terrorist action and punish them."

The explosion took place in the city of Pisheen in the south eastern province of Sistan-Bluchestan near the border with Pakistan and at least 20 people were killed.

The strike took place when officers from the Guards were preparing to stage a meeting between local leaders of Shiite and Sunni communities.

Some local tribal heads and several senior officers of the Guards were among the slain.
"In this terrorist act, General Nur-Ali Shushtari, deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guards ground forces, General Mohammad-Zadeh, commander of the Revolutionary Guards in Sistan-Baluchestan province, the Guards' commander for the town of Iranshahr and the commander of the Amir al-Momenin unit died," the Fars news agency reported.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad vowed to strike back at the "criminals" behind a suicide bombing that targeted the Islamic Republic's Revolutionary Guard, the official IRNA news agency reported.

"The criminals will soon get the response for their anti-human crimes," IRNA quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. The Iranian leader also accused unspecified foreigners of involvement.

Parliamentary speaker Ali Larijani confirmed the officers' death in an announcement to parliament which was broadcast on television.
Larijani said the United States was implicated in Sunday's bomb attack.
"We consider the recent terrorist attack to be the result of US action. This is a sign of America's animosity against our country," Larijani said.
"Mr. Obama has said he will extend his hand towards Iran, but with this terrorist action he has burned his hand," he added, referring to US President Barack Obama.

Iran has previously accused shadowy group Jundallah (Soldiers of God) of launching regular attacks in the province, which borders both Afghanistan and Pakistan.

US CONDEMNS BOMBING, DENIES INVOLVEMENT
Meanwhile, the United States condemned the suicide bombing that struck Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards, and denied any involvement in the attack.

"We condemn this act of terrorism and mourn the loss of innocent lives," State Department Spokesman Ian Kelly said in a statement.

"Israel" declared recently that it is planning terrorist attacks in Iran especially against the revolutionary guards in Iran. At least, Iran has to reserve its right to respond to this aggression in the right time and place, as Hizbollah does when "Israel" commits an aggression against Lebanese civilians and resistance.

mosad scum are behind evrything in the ME, hope Iran will return the favour ten folds.

Jim smith, you are very touching aren't you? The mosad is recruiting asinine idiots who go on line to spew idiotic posts of enticements or propaganda. With the arrival of the Americans (and their jewish masters) to Afghanistan (and Iraq) death and suicide bombers become the daily occurrence. Mr jew smith still trying to be funny and argue otherwise. Fact is the whole thing is not funny. I wonder when zionists start to fall like flies does he care to share some of his sarcasm with us. When zionists try to deny a crime somehow you know they're lying. Many of these funny 'smiths' masquerade as Americans, yet they care the less about their biggest supporters and providers of almost everything- from a matchsticks to missiles, tanks and, of course, $$$- even when their economy are in deep crap.

It may not be

Salamu'alakoum You do make a wise point Mr. Smith. I notice you've done your research into world history and wise understanding of the atrocities that these barbarians have committed dated back 900 years ago and for thousands before. With a reputation like that why else wouldn't you believe it was them. But it seems like only some have a sense that while reading they grasp everything. If you haven't noticed the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calls them "criminals" that committed the crime. He didn't blame the Zionists at all. He blamed the US. It was Iran that had fished out Sadam from that little hole and the US took credit. I'm sure Iran could figure out who committed this crime on humanity. Salamu'alakoum

Who knows?

The government of Iran has a lot of enemies. Many are western governments. Many are not. The American intelligence services fund groups hostile to the government of Iran. But I understand that the followers of Osma bin Laden are also hostile to the Iranian government. I have never heard of any agent of American or Israeli Imperialism carrying out a suicide bombing. They do what they do for money. The Iranian regime is involved in a struggle for its existence. It will not publicize the origin of this attack unless it suits its purpose. We will never find out with certainty what occurred. If the Iranian leadership really believe it was an American attack the Iranian/American negotiations on nukes are doomed. Certainly that would please the Israeli government.

A Strong Response Should be Sent to America, the UK and "Ghabi Ashkinazi had just declared plan to send the Mosad to Iran to conduct covert opperations--bombings, he specified.Israel"

Ghabi Ashkinazi had just declared plan to send the Mosad to Iran to conduct covert opperations--bombings, he specified. An Iranian Nuclear scientest has also been kidnapped in Arabia last May (by (Zionists). This in addition to the Mosque bombing last June. If we don't send a super strong deterring message to these criminals, the next target may be our nuke facilities or maybe the superior leader, may God protect him. Stop being geeks, Iran, respond firmly and with an iron hand.

OH PLEASE, of course it was america

before anyone starts to claim that america wasn't behind this needs to look at americas prior backing of certain groups, like al-qeida, so why blame the zionists, they weren't there, neither were the americans, it was a suicide bomber right?, well, who is backing this group, and who finances it? america, and who runs america? the zionists. you need to look and think logically without your mind running amok, the americans have always sown terrorism in other countries, and when it had a taste of their doing, it was furious, well america, keep out of other peoples business, then no one can blame or attack you.

It's horrible to see the brothers muslim kill each other, and much worse, they use suicide bomber to kill another muslim, no matter shia or sunni, I wish the suicide bombers and the masterminds that hurt our brother will get rotten in the deepest hell

Who could it be?

When it comes to foreign affairs i am 100% pro-Iran. But ordering the execution of people who lead a demonstration is a crime, and i dont think u & I should argue that such iron fist breath taking rule wont work on people. I noticed Almanar never headlined the news when Iran declared the death penalty for people who made their voices heard, will they publish this note! Allah ma3kon.

Order out of Chaos- To all in the world, learn these words. There is not a single person strong enough to take them on. Unless we all unite. Attacks like these will become more and more common- how sick and unfair they are- they only consider " anything to get the job done ". I hope people dont think all Americans support the elite.....Bcuz we dont.
