Clashes with Kurdish terrorists kill 120 Iranian police in five months
Who is to say Iran might not invade Iraq? Perhaps joined
by their good friends and allies Turkey and Syria.


TEHRAN - Clashes in western Iran with Kurdish terrorists have left 120 Iranian police dead and a further 64 injured in less than six months, a provincial judiciary chief was quoted as saying Saturday.

"Since the beginning of the year 1384 (beginning March 20, 2005), 120 police have been martyred and 64 injured fighting the Pejak, PKK, Kurdish Democratic Party and Komoleh," Hojatoleslam Akbar Feyz, the head of Western Azebaijan province judiciary, told the student news agency ISNA.

In recent months Iranian news reports have spoken of regular attacks by Iranian Kurdish terrorist groups, notably the Pejak -- a group which Iranian authorities say is linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and other outlawed Kurdish parties that are active across the border in Turkey and northern Iraq.

Tehran and Ankara are linked by an accord calling on Iran to fight the PKK and for Turkey to fight the People's Mujahedeen, an armed Iranian opposition group based in Iraq.

2. Now if you really want to know who gassed the Kurds while Saddam
was in office, this would be a good place to start. Saddam has always said that the Kurds were gassed by Inranians fighting in this area. But then it didn't matter to us because Saddam was "our guy in Iraq." When we needed reasons to make him even more of a bad guy than he was, this is what we came up with...he gassed the Kurds. And remember all those babies in incubators? need i say more.
