Prof James Alexander has had his fill of 'inclusive' politicians who love 'diversity' so much that they must silence all the 'fascists' i.e., people to the Right of Karl Marx who don't love 'diversity' as much as they do.

category international | crime and justice | other press author Wednesday August 04, 2010 12:19author by Sally Bowles Report this post to the editors

Could todays bomb attack on Ahmadinejad be a set up to allow him to bring in even more repressive measures against dissidents? Om Monday Ahmadinejad said: "The stupid Zionists have hired mercenaries to assassinate me". Now surprise, surpriise an attack takes place. Full story at url below.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an attack with a homemade explosive device on his motorcade during a visit to the western city of Hamadan today, a source in his office said. The source said Mr Ahmadinejad's convoy was targeted as he was travelling from Hamadan's airport to give a speech in a local sports arena. The president was unhurt but others had been injured in the explosion. One person was arrested.

Meanwhile, Baqer Moin, a London-based Iran expert, said Hamadan was a stable area without any notable ethnic or local tension. "Let's wait and see who they accuse, an internal or an external enemy," Mr Moin said.

Different stories are emerging from the different Iranian State and Religious propaganda organisations.

State-run Press TV said "no such attack had happened", and officials said the blast was caused by a firework.

"It was a firecracker, and a statement will be released soon," an official in the president's media office told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

Al Alam, a state-run Arabic-language TV channel, reported that the firecracker was set off to cheer the president.

The Khabaronline website said the president's car was about 100 metres (330ft) away from the explosion, which "caused a lot of smoke", but later removed the article from its website.

The semi-official Fars news agency first said the device was a homemade grenade, but later said the explosion was caused by a firecracker.
