Sounds like dissent among the ranks to me. They will try to blame others, but it is of their own doing imo.

Maybe with some luck the Iran president will get taken out...but then of course there's always more whackos behind him...and the blame game going on and on and on...

This isn't very shocking in the least. There is no place within 2,000km of Iran where a bomb exploding from separatists is unheard of, people generally dislike ethnic and religious despotisms.

Kinda of surprising that they did not try and shield this from the press. Especially since it most likely was a assassination attempt.

I hear you! I hate to see innocents being hurt in the process but let them do themselves in.

You can't reasonably claim anything of the sort based on one piece of circumstantial evidence.

I don't find it much of a coincidence that Ahmadinejad was supposed to visit Ahvaz on Tuesday and backed out. All of his extreme rhetoric may end up being his demise. If not internally, by the mossad.

The explosions were nowhere near where he was scheduled to visit.

A double bomb attack in the southwestern Iranian oil city of Ahvaz has left eight people dead.

The bombs ripped through a bank and a government building on Tuesday, in a region that has seen intermittent bombings and rioting since April.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president had been due to visit the city on Tuesday, but his office said he cancelled the trip on Monday night because of poor weather conditions.
