Bomb blast in Iran, police clash with gunmen 52 minutes ago

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Clashes broke out between police and an armed group following a bomb explosion in southeast Iran on Friday, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Friday.

"The bandits were shooting at people after the bomb went off at a school. Clashes are still going on between police and the armed bandits," Fars said.

The agency said that after the explosion at about 1830 GMT in the city of Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, electricity was cut off.

"Police have cordoned off the area and shooting can be heard in the area," Fars said.

The bombing in Zahedan was the second there in three days.

A booby-trapped car blew up a bus owned by Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards on Wednesday, killing at least 11 people.

Responsibility for the Wednesday attack was claimed by a shadowy Sunni group, Jundallah (God's soldiers), which Iran has said is linked to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network. Tehran has blamed Jundallah for past killings in the area, bordering Pakistan.

Iran has accused Britain and the United States of supporting ethnic minority rebels operating in the sensitive border areas in an attempt to destabilize the country.

It seems the US will not need to attack Iran, for there meddling in Iraq at least, since the Sunni insurgency has now made its way into Iran. I do not think the Iranian government was anticipating this when it sent its weapons to Iraq. Isnt it Ironic? ;D
 
If I'm not mistaken, I think there is a fairly large Sunni community in Iran and Tehran in particular. This would be an interesting development if the Sunni insurgents in Iraq focus more on stopping Iranian control of their country.
 
The Iranians are arming the Shia to slaughter our Sunni bro's and sis's so why would any Sunni group not view the Shia in Iran as an enemy?

I dont think they are viewing just the Shia, the article shows that they are targeting the government as well. (revolutionary guard) It will be interesting to see how this progresses and how the Muslim world will react.. will it divide or unite? Also I have to wonder, would the Sunni view the US as an ally if they now attacked Iran, probably not but it is something to think about
 
To be blunt any group calling themselves muslims and then producing their own texts as hadeeth, and bad mouthing and accusing the pious sahabah, also going against the fact that our beloved Prophet Mohammed PBUH was the last of prophets and Allah SWT's messenger, surely such a group cant be muslim. Then again I have many shia friends, I asked them all these questions, I even made one read the Kalimah. Another Interesting thing I saw when I went to a friends wedding, he was marrying an Iranian girl, during the Nikah, the mullah made the girl do shahadah. So a shia isnt really muslim then? I hope the shia's open their minds, they are being deluded, Ayatollah's have only made things worse. May Allah SWT guide the shia's. One question do shia's only pray salaah 3 times a day?
I think Iran has the right to have nukes, Israel is mounting pressure on their puppets in the whitehouse to deal with Iran before they get a nuke. Especially after the $2.5 billion US spent on Israel's defense system to take out missiles or warheads in the air, although that system failed badly when hezbolah shot Iranian rockets into Israel.

There is one God, who created all people, we should not be killing each other because we disagree with how someone else prays. We need to look beyond our differences and search for true justice for all people.

Is this any different to the thousands of Americans who murder other Americans every year on American soil? It does not seem right to kind of enjoy other people's misfortune.

yes that's the mentality everyone has now in the ME.and that will keep the violence going for decades if changes do not occur.
This thread is 1 hr old and nobody has blamed the US yet.

it doesn't always have to be the Americans.It could be the Saudis and other Arabs in the region funding to limit Iranian influence.It could be the US but that's just conjecture from me.After all the world is grey.

The rockets were to low to be shot down. A Missle from Iran would be at the correct height for the laser missle defense system to react.

That is indeed true about the trajectory of the Hezbollah artillery. Additionally, the Patriot (an anti-missile, missile) at $ 1M a copy isn't going to be fired at 20 year old, unguided Katyusha rounds, which are really just rocket artillery which are sprayed inaccurately over a general area hoping to get "lucky".

The Patriot Missile Defense System worked fairly well in the first Gulf War, shooting down quite a few SCUDS before they hit their targets. I'm sure with the advent of new technology they would be even more effective now.
 
The title of this thread shows massive bias. The US doesn't *HAVE* to attack Iran period. Iran isn't the agressor here, and has shown no signs of being a threat to the US. The only claims I've even heard about Iran involve a threat to Israel. I've yet to even hear pro-war propaganda about Iran attacking the US itself.

You are so right; as an alternative to war Mr Bush might try following Lukes's Gospel to love and pray for your enemy.

First off, you are right, it is bias, I can not stand Iran (or at least their government). Second, Iran is the aggressor, when has the US said they will attack Iran, Iran has said on multiple occasions that it would attack US interests around the world, and has threatened, very seriously i might add, US allies in the mid east. Iran is not only a threat to the US but the world. They have also taken an aggressive stance in a power struggle with the US in Iraq, that is making it more difficult for troops to do their job there. I wouldnt say the US has taken any kind of aggressive stance with Iran yet, but if they keeping popping off at the mouth, I would think they would get a response.
 
lol this attack was conducted by a small group, nothing ground breaking, mtaffi u do know this has happened in iran before right? here and there they have been attacked by small groups such as this, lolllll u think this is the insurgents from iraq how funny, getting excited for nothing. i dont think iran which has 11 million soldiers is going to be really concerned with a small bus bombing and a small fire-fight with a group of bandits. lol u are very funny

and just to show how more funny u are, the attacks happened in THE EAST OF IRAN, NOT THE WEST, now why the heck wud insurgents in iraq travel ACROSS IRAN going all the way down to the south-east of iran which would take several days and lots of time when they cud just attack iran from the west! wowwwww man u really are funny seriously.

insurgents in iraq are trying to hold down their own areas etc etc, lol and mtaffi is suggesting that these same insurgents who are in daily battles to control their areas from iraqi-us forces had the time to cross into iran, travel across iran, travel all the way to the south-east of iran bordering pakistan, and to then launch an attack. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm not very bright.

REALLY 11 MILLION SOLDIERS HUH?? LOL YOU ARE THE FUNNY ONE MY FRIEND! Iran doesnt have 1 million soldiers, it is just ready to throw everyone one of its people into battle, I guess the US has 300 million then huh? Also who says anyone traveled, ever heard of the internet? Email, regular mail, telephone conversations. Could these people be connected to the Sunni in Iraq, perhaps so, perhaps not either way I believe it may have something to do with recent events.
