Bomb Kills Scores in Iran
UPDATE: The blast at the mosque was an accident, not an attack. A senior Interior Ministry Official has said that the explosives were being stored for an exhibition commemorating the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.
More than 160 people are believed to have been wounded in the incident in the southern city of Shiraz.
It seems once again the minions are more of a danger to themselves than even they realize. Only a muslim would store explosives in an area where they plan to have large numbers of people meet. If I were a religious man, I would suspect God himself set off these explosives to punish the wicked. Divine retribution or not if you play with fire enough you will get burned, allahu ackbarf baby.
Nothing new here folks, just move along, nothing to see. Muslims blow themselves up every day. Why this mosque and not one down the street? I think I can answer that. The mosque is reported to be the site of a weekly speech about extremist Wahabi beliefs and the outlawed Bahai faith.
This is just more Sunni vs Shia and this time the Shia lost.

Oh yeah,
My church stores tons of bombs in it for preparations to celebrate the Mexican American war! For really special days, my church launches a few cruise missiles at the nearby synagogue. What fun!
Luckily, we have failsafe alarms on the bunker just in case there is someone with a cell phone trying to call.

“…the explosives were being stored for an exhibition commemorating the 1980s Iran-Iraq war.”
Like when I was making a homemade firecracker using the gunpowder from caps and it accidentally went off in my room, which piqued my Dad’s curiosity to the point that he inquired, “WHAT THE @#^$% ARE YOU DOING UP THERE?!” For some reason he didn’t believe me when all I could come up with was “Nothing?!” …and with the 4th only days away, I might have been able to get away with being as ‘clever’ as those Arabs? …..Naaah, which is why I said “Nothing.” because there was literally “nothing” that could have saved my butt at that point, and to try to get him to fall for such a KaKhomeini story as that would have only made it worse for me. But for some reason the West believes those loosers. Go figure.
