If the Casbah be rocking, don't bother knocking!

Another day. Another Iranian explosion????

Bomb explodes in Tehran near last blast

TEHRAN, Iran - A bomb exploded in southeastern Iran late Friday, near the site where an explosion this week killed 11 members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, and clashes broke out afterward between Iranian police and insurgents, Iranian news agencies reported.

"The sound of a bomb explosion was heard in one of Zahedan's streets," IRNA, Iran's official news agency, reported. The report gave no further details, including whether there were casualties. The semiofficial Fars news agency said the explosion was at a school and was followed by clashes.


"The insurgents began shooting at people after the explosion. Clashes are continuing between police and the armed insurgents," the Fars agency said.

Oh, and about that previous bombing of those 11 Iranian Revolutionary guards? There's been a confession and you guessed it. The US was behind it! (ed. note: What? No Joooooos?)

"Separately, IRNA quoted an unnamed "responsible official" late Friday as saying that one of those arrested in Wednesday's bombing has "confessed" that the attacks were part of alleged U.S. plans to provoke ethnic and religious violence in Iran.

"This person who was behind the bombing confessed that those who trained them spoke in English," IRNA quoted the official as saying. "



Update from Breitbart:

"Fars quoted the governor of Zahedan, Hasan Ali Nouri, as saying the blast was a "sound bomb explosion"_ a device that creates a loud boom but that usually does not cause casualties."

Unh-huh. Right.
