Iran's Ahmadinejad Survives Grenade Attack
Associated Press reports: "A handmade grenade exploded Wednesday near President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad's convoy in western Iran, but the leader was not harmed, a
conservative website reported." We are trying to determine just how this news will be spun to push the red futures (probably the first day in two weeks futures have been negative, and one of several times in the past two months this has happened) back into the green.
From AP, via MSNBC:
TEHRAN, Iran — A handmade grenade exploded Wednesday near President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's convoy in western Iran, but the leader was not harmed, a conservative website reported.
The website, khabaronline.ir, said the blast took place in Hamedan as Ahmadinejad was on his way to address a crowd. The president gave his speech as planned and it was broadcast live on state TV.
One person was arrested in connection with the attack, the report said, adding that the president's car was about 100 yards (meter) away from the site of the blast.
The website said it had no information about whether other people were injured.
"The explosion caused a lot of smoke," it said.
Officials could not immediately be reached to confirm the report.

Gosh Darn CIA, can never get it right.
Mossad, they love using explosives, even on US troops to "keep us focused".
Jewhate gets you up early eh?
No one in Iran would have hard feelings against the dictator-in-chief after the last year of violent repression in Iran? And a foreign power would surely be using home-made explosives in their assassination attempts.
"No one"?? Not even his mother?
'Jewhate gets you up early eh?'
If it feels right.. why not?.. It sure as hell beats the slumber that causes self destruction.
It makes me very happy to see that the Zionist owned MSM does not control VERY single person in this fat, lazy, greedy, materialistic, (did I mention lazy?) country !!
Actually, I don't hate Jews.. but.. If someone is going to be objective and critical of Israhell, you will get the label.. So.. what the hell.. I'll embrace it..
"It sure as hell beats the slumber that causes self destruction."
Dead on Max! Well said.
Calling a spade a spade is enough to get you labeled a liar in the current environment.
And of course everyone also understands that a nation's people are always by and large like any ohter place. A mix, a melange of archetypes. It's the leaders. The psychopaths that we elect, select, crown or otherwise look towards to be led.
Who are stooges of another bunch of even more psychopathic psychopaths. Like a Psychopathic Faberge egg.

No one would put it past Achmedinnerjacket and his studiously unmerry band of mullahs to do a little false-flag excercice, to prove that there are still enemies of the revolution inside the country?
Compare that to other propaganda they are manufacturing these days: The regime is putting on a show trial of three retarded americans who were apparently either kidnapped by Iran near the common border with Iraq, or arrested for actually being in Iran by accident, while backpacking over there(which is the proof that they are retarded, or at least incapable of safely making decisions for themselves). Cui bono? The regime! They have a totalitarian dictatorship over there, with its propaganda activities meant to sell as best they can the brutal repression the secret police and and judges and brownshirts of the regime shell out all day long since the mullahs consolidated their power.
ITG,
Right on...........
NO ONE, would (out of the hundreds of thousands that marched, and demonstrated, were beaten,murdered,imprisoned for doing so, could POSSIBLY want this crazy mutha fkr dead.
Had to be a damned Zionist JEW................
I know the Zionist got Obama elected too,had to be.Their funding the Mosque in NYC also.
It is too bad the US troops haven't figured out who their real enemy is yet. The cliche "keep your friends close and your enemies closer" comes to mind.
"mazel tov" cocktails!!
The Mazel Tov Cocktail is an OyED.
Thank you for correcting the headline - had me worried for a while!
IED futures turning green ;-)
LOL
Whoops, missed it by that much. Is it an IED if it's thrown by a human hand and manufactured by the state?
I suspect this was Israel's (political leadership's) last hope for regime change before they bring out the military hardware.

U.S. Targeting Iran, Preparing for World War IIIThere is no doubt Israel would prefer a "regime change" but this is amateur hour stuff. The Mossad would never attempt something this foolish and desperate.
Ahmadinechimp and his crew of mullahs have made a lot of home-grown enemies, especially in the past 14 months. This was an internal assass attempt.
After this event, I wonder if this guy will get his pass to join the worldwide war on terrorism. Might be the perfect time to join the coalition of the willing.
The "war" on fear is even more ridiculous than the "war" on drugs. When will people realize both are meant to be never-ending ways to bleed the coffers and restrict citizens' rights?
which "people" ? some of us have always known it.
islam couldnt have anything to do with ot could it ?
@israhole
You left out the "War on Poverty".
and the War on Ignorance....err Edukayshun....err No Child Left Behind.
...and the War to End All Wars (brought to you by the banking community since 1914!).
Do you ever sleep Tyler? You are the reason blogs have made print DOA.
Mossed or CIA?
Harvard exchange student apparently...LOL.
Or Mymood'imaina'jihad making an excuse to crack some heads.
False flag and the anti-semites fall for it. They aren't the brightest.
the anti-semites fall for it
So you fell for it, eh?
"False flag and the anti-semites fall for it. They aren't the brightest."
We have always been fortunate in our enemies.
I'm stayin with the Haaahvaaahd exchange student theory, they pretty much screw up everything they get their hands on...LOL.
they're calling this one a fire cracker from a fan who was "expressing his excitement".
MISSION UPDATE STATUS 7:
"Commander,give me a report on Operation Slack"jaw"Jihad "
"Sgt.Tyler the new recruit missed the target,Sir."
"Damn it trooper,i told you throw the grenade over-arm not under-arm like a sissy YOU IDIOT"
Could have been that Archduke Ferdinand moment Tyler was speculating about yesterday...
ADF was also unsuccessfully attacked with a grenade into his car (before later being shot.)
A lone assailant no doubt.
Since I shot my tv full of buckshot 18 months ago, can somebody please tell me what color the "terror alert meter" is on CNN? LOL!
It pains me to admit it, but Americans are the laughing stock of the world these days because we let Israel-firsters figure new ways to fleece us with every decision.
You are a laughingstock. Don't speak for the rest of us.
ITG, do you seriously get paid per comment? Try letting one middle ease article go without commenting on it. You can do it.
I've always wondered how much shilling for Israhell pays..
Maybe he just gets that deep down clean feeling for hating brown people like we have all been conditioned to do.. Maybe it's his love for Jesus..
Some people just need to wake up with the "feel good" knowledge that we have the best country in the world and we can beat up anyone that gets smart with us, or our master chosen race puppeteers.
Ever heard "Dachau Cabana" by the Vandals? Seems an odd avatar for an Israeli shill, don'cha think? But maybe that's what they want us to think? Fuck, I'm so confused...

yo, they just got my little cousin ese...
When i come out the station, you're gonna get yours. ;)
A weak ADP report did the trick on the futures.
Coming next -
A slingshot fired by mossad sniper dressed in burkha misses Netanhyahu by a mile.
WAR
I heard that the grenade produced a lot of smoke....
They don't play soccer with football, but with grenades without pins...
The last receiver is the winner.
Allah is great...
CNBC just reported it was a "firecracker." Move along, nothing to see here . . .
Actually he was attacked by four North Korean subs and an earthquake.

nice
Wasn't it a malfunctioning wellhead?
Let's see - was it just a smoke bomb, a firecracker, a small home-made grenade, or ....
"Debkafile's Iranian sources report a large bomb exploded against the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's heavily secured armored convoy as it drove through the northern Iranian city of Hamadan Wednesday, Aug. 4. He was reported unhurt. Some of his bodyguards and bystanders were killed or injured."
If I question Israeli aggression, does that make me an anti-semite toughguy?
Yes, of course.. you have been branded an AntiSemite* and a Holocaust* denier. You have been scheduled for re-education.
* registered trade marks
Q: If I question Israeli aggression, does that make me an anti-semite toughguy?
A: In short, no; to qualify for the Toughguy Treatment award (Titty award, for shorts), you need to question the American-Dollar Leachers and/or the All-Israeli Plundering America Committee, as well (both: better). For basic questioning of Israel, you'll have to settle for the plain Anti-Semite treatment (courtesy junks included, in either case).

Once again the CIA proves its utter incompetence.
Incompetence for some things... for others, like smuggling heroin and cocaine to sell to minorities in a true ethnic cleansing, they're GREAT!!
Oh...I didn't know that only minorities use cocaine and heroin. A truly racist statement and ignorant to boot!
If the PTB wanted ethnic/minority cleansing then they would just taint the tap water to sterilize the ghetto populace. IMHO, they already have the technology.
Gold back to $1200...
Ghetto bitches...
Hold on, let's get some perspective. A hand-made grenade that made a lot of smoke went off 100 meters away? This is a non-event.
More dangerous stuff went on in my neighbor's backyard last 4th of July. This sounds like the work of a politicized amateur bomber.
Certainly Mossad, CIA, any other spook agency could do better on their worst day. File this one under Silly Season stories.
Iran officially denies the report:

On a slow news day editors take what they can get.
And an excuse for another pro/anti Israel smackdown on ZH.

What a bunch of preternaturally superficial dildos. Go back to your wizz-bang hot shot market he-man mummy coffins and call me when you grow up. You bad-boy Jew haters are going to get quite a surprise before it's all over.
There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration.I read and understand the entire article and I really enjoyed it to be honest.
