A PERCUSSION bomb exploded in the restive southwestern Iranian oil city of Ahvaz yesterday but caused no injuries, the official IRNA news agency reported.

People poured into the streets in panic after the blast, the agency said. Eight people were killed on Tuesday when bombs ripped through a bank and government building in Ahvaz, capital of the mainly Arab province of Khuzestan.

Khuzestan has simmered with ethnic unrest since April, when five people died in protests ignited by rumours the Government was considering settling non-Arabs in southwest Iran to dilute Arab influence there.

A little-known group campaigning for independence for Iran's Arab minority claimed responsibility for Tuesday's attacks in a Web statement. The claim could not be verified.


This just smells like a 'disinformation' campaign by our US and British governments to foment unrest and rebellion against the hard-line government there.:tinfoilhat:

1. Why is it that in Iraq there is a resistance - yet in Iran - the portion

the populace which is not fundamentalist Islamic .. is not a resistance?

[High Plains]

2. Because people tend to resist foreign invasions

more than their own government, no matter how much they dislike it?

Is that what you were asking? Or were you making some sort of rhetorical point?

3. I was just asking. Iranian disidents are under the gun, repressed,

sometimes human rights abused. Think of all the women in a country of 75 Million who are secular and are forced to don traditional garb. Would that be 10 Million women who have their rights abused every day?

4. CIA? Could our thugs be stirring the pot...again?

Naaah. They're too hunmanitarian to do something like that.
