Two Dozen Killed In Iranian Embassy Bombing In Beirut, Iran Accuses Israel Of Orchestrating Attack
When all else fails, and/or when the president is caught in yet another major scandal, there is only one way out: war. As many expected, but as nobody knew what shape the latest provocation would take, overnight at least 23 were killed and dozens hurt after a twin bomb attack shook the Iranian embassy in Beirut. As NBC reports, a local al Qaeda affiliate, the Abdullah Azzam brigades, claimed responsibility for the explosions – the latest sign that Syria’s civil war is spilling over the border into Lebanon. Burning cars, bodies and pools of blood littered the front of the embassy building, in the Hezbollah-dominated south of the city. The Zahraa hospital nearby told AFP that it had received the bodies of five people and was treating at least 35 others for wounds. Lebanese media broadcast harrowing images from the scene of the blast, with charred bodies on a street lined by blazing cars and strewn with the rubble.
The horrifying scene looked something like out of Beirut in the 1980s:
Burning cars, bodies and pools of blood littered the front of the embassy building, in the Hezbollah-dominated south of the city.
Eyewitnesses described charred bodies and a large crater.
Security camera footage indicated the first blast was carried out by suicide bomber who rushed toward the walls of the embassy, while the second was caused by a nearby car bomb, officials told Lebanese media.
One explosion blew out the large black main gate of the Iranian mission, damaging the three-story facility, Reuters said.
Lebanon's Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil told Reuters that at least 23 people were killed and 146 wounded, but the toll was changing rapidly as emergency workers and bystanders picked through the wreckage of burning vehicles.
"At one entrance of the Iranian embassy I counted six bodies outside. I saw body parts around and thrown two streets away," Reuters television cameraman Issam Abdullah said from the scene.
"There is huge damage, it looks like it is a car bomb. One car is twisted there. There were two Mercedes cars badly damaged," he added.
Activist Ahmad Yassine posted pictures of the aftermath of the explosion to Twitter, showing burning vehicles and bystanders picking through the wreckage.
The area is home to a number of foreign embassies, including those of Egypt, Kuwait and China.
And while Al Qaeda was quick to take the blame, Iran had other thoughts, and its foreign ministry promptly accused Israel of carrying out the deadly attack.
In other words, the CIA-funded Al-Qaeda groups originally in Syria, are now operating in neighboring countries where they are blowing up Israel's enemies at Netanyahu's bidding, while taking responsibility and keeping the spotlight away from the Israeli state. What can possibly go wrong with such a strategy clearly designed to push the middle east back to the brink of war?

Is this the start of Black Swan event to topple the markets?
Naw.....it's just some terrorist friendly fire....they'll just blame it on Israel.
Should probably leave the detonators off when fitting the volunteer suicide recruits I'm thinking. Safety first.
My goodness, could it possibly be Saudi Arabia? You know, those guys financing the "rebels' in Syria that also hate Iran?
Must not be illegal to litter over there, they really need to clean up their act. Next thing ya know they'll be picking their nose right there in the street.
Of course Israel did it. They are very deceptive you know.
It would really piss me off if someone blew my car up.
Good to know.
isreal- not fooling anyone anymore. why not behave like a civilized nation and stop the murdering and barbarity. the rest of us have grown quite tired of it. thanks.
to iran, what comes around goes around. Payback's a bitch.
francis sawyer...were are you when we need you the most.....ah the good ole days
stormfront needed their admin back.
WHO DID IT IS NOT IMPORTANT.
If you have been on this site long enough you know what to do. Act now.
Don't worry, won't happen.
You're wife asked us to make it look like a accident...
depends whether your ex was in it.
Just about everything is the fault of the jews. Communism is their fault(Marx),Capitalism is their fault(Rothschild),Libertarianism is their fault(Ayn Rand). They have even infiltrated the Nobel prize committee in Stockholm because they get way more Nobel prizes than they should based on their population.
CIA, Alqueda, Israel.... What's the difference?
Saudi Prince Bandar and Israel's Mossad make for a dangerous alliance.
This is why various arab and central asian terrorist groups hate the Jews. They put all their time, energy, and resources into orcehstrating a terror attack - and the Jews take the blame / credit.
Careful out there today, this could be coming to a neighborhood near you.
Heve you ever tried to buy or build a bomb that would create this big of an explosion?
Raw Material purchase would be staggering.
Kinda makes you wonder who does these kinda things.
DaddyO
Mcvey blew up a high rise in Oklahoma when you were still in diapers and to young to recall. A van of fertilizer mixed with diesel fuel did the trick. He was an army man, today we need to watch out for the zimmerman's of the world who are want to be cops who commit crimes and then have nothing to say for themselves.
...sarcasm is a great thing to help blunt the tragedy of a mindnumbing set of events we see played out daily in the media.
Next time I'll make sure I use the /s tag so you don't get confused.
DaddyO
Note the Zimmerman comment...
/s doesn't work with people who can't manage facts that conflict with ideology.
Either you forgot, or you've been living in a hole in ground and is just now catchin up, /SARC.
I is just now catching up Massa, have mercy on me, please Massa...
DaddyO
You're sure Mcveigh was acting alone? You're sure it was just a van of fertilizer and fuel and not also placed charges to help it along? And you are sure Zimmerman committed a crime?
You forgot the part mentioning that McVey received his bomb from the FBI.
More so Arch Duke Ferdinand...Hmm, wonder why Obama has been getting rid of all them military higher ups...Hmmm hmm so he doesnt have much between him and ww3? Sensational? Sure why not...
Hmm, wonder why Obama has been getting rid of all them military higher ups
Because they don't want to fire on us?
Do I win something?
That's why I have the support your local sheriff and Obama bumperstickers.....I figure it will at least buy me a little time. Gets me a lot of nasty looks....but what the hell?
Obama "Chavez style" takeover coming.
Yep, the cracks are emerging daily. Just look at the transformation in appearance over the past months.
Also, notice how much more prominent the behind the scenes orchestrator has become. Her pictures and news reports of her actions are almost a daily occurence.
Prepare accordingly...
DaddyO
Been sporting a "Cops are tops" sticker on my bikes since '92.
Fuck it. I got no pride. Fuck the bronze.
LOL, at least you are honest.
Like my daddy used to say....ain't much pride in being dead.
Usually to my detriment.

Nah, the military fights WW3 while DHS does the local purging...
It's just a settlement because they didn't support him when he wanted to kill those Syrian citizens.
IF YOU DON'T LISTEN TO THE SUPREME NOBEL PRICE WINNER OF PEACE!! YOU EATHER DIE A HORRIBLE DEATH OR YOU'RE FIRED!!!
Noonoonoo... it's a "shit happens" event.
For us it looks like a prime time television event if it would happen over here but over there it's like watching the Morningshow.
Kill off the Saudi royal pieces of shit and do what has always needed to be done to the Zionist Entity...
and the world will be a much better place...........
Saudi Wahabbists (AlQaeda) and Israeli Zionists (Mossad)
are BOTH promoted and protected by the US.
Their orchestrated 'conflict' guarantees the petrodollar and pipelines,
assists global ambitions of the US against China and Russia,
and provides convenient excuse and 'plausible deniability'
for the alleged wars on drugs and terror, and the supposed need for martial laws.
senseless
Ahh so thats why Gold spiked up from the short induced spike down
How would this lead to ww3? Iran would have to go through Iraq to get to Lebanon or Israel and there's no way they're dumb enough to try that.
Iran has extremely limited capability to do anything outside their border. I believe the zh version of ww3 goes like this: usa hits syria, israel hits iran, russia hits back, china gets involved behind the scenes...
And poof...Salad Days are here again!

Another proof that there is terrorism and then there is trrrism. The European Union expressed condolences to the murdered people with an insipid Tweet. The U.S. did not bother to express regrets at all.
Kinda fun to see if the list Weley Clark spoke about will come true.
“This is a memo that describes how we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
Speaking of Syria, it seems like months since I last heard a word about it in the MSM.
If there is any justice in the coming reset, the media masters will be hanging on the lampposts right next to the politicians.
Good thing we didn't rush into a war we wouldn't give a shit about within 2 weeks.
Just mindboggling, isn't it?
The depth of deceit is unfathomable, their treachery knows no bounds at this point and everything is done right out in the open.
DaddyO
That is the new Propaganda, Daddy, you say what ever you want them to believe, and the majority will believe, facts have nothing to do with forming opinions!
You're right, just look at the divergent opinions here on ZH.
While there is some commonality, the divergence is exploited by TPTB.
That's why all the calls for revolution never take root, no single catalyst is ever in play to any significant measure.
We have been divided and conquered as a Nation!
DaddyO
how many megaphony IDF and Pentagon posters do you figure troll zero hedge? seems like more than a few...
Once they realize that Syria now can only make Obama look bad and not good since he went back on his word, Syria became the equivalent of the Africa desert.
Do politicians use media or does media use politicians to spin tall tales and launch useless apps and crap programs? And be both of them complicit in a global conspiracy to deceive and deprive nations of their rights to progress with the pimping and pumping of sub-prime future content and ignorant and arrogant trash that ultimately always inevitably leads to spontaneous flash crashes, black swan events and algorithms gone wild and rogue trading?
Or is that a Future Active Development and APT ACT Programming with Advanced Persistent Threats in Advanced Cyber Threats Live Programs and Virtual Projects which be presently betatesting current politically incorrect systems of media sensitive operation and SCADA administration?
More death..... needless death. For a bunch of dickheads-in-charge. With the DIC running the MIC, this ugly show WILL continue.
It will only stop when we say.... enough is enough. That process will not come about in an easy manner.
This started when one man posted some anti Israeli videos on You Tube. Clearly spontaneous.
My vote is Saudi Arabia, the kings of terrorism.
"Burning cars, bodies and pools of blood..." just another day in muslim land!
paid for with your tax dollars, and arranged by your military intelligence. the blood is therefore also on your hands, look a little more closely.
I'm all broken up about that, john. I'll cry on the inside for now, until I can find a quiet, serene place, alone in the woods, where I can let it all out.
At last my tax money is spent on something with tangible results.
well, since you are so fond of blood and murder, you will be thrilled when it arrives at your neighborhood courtesy of the tptb. money well spent tough guy.
Now john, violence never solved anything. And the scared straight tough love keyboard is putting a toe over the line, don't you think?
Be careful and type gently, or your "email apnoea" will act up.
confused? support violence in one post, then disclaim it in the next. typical mentality, violence is only bad or terrorism if it is against the U.S./Europe/or is-ra-el. and i'm sorry if you dislike the message, but messing with my email (the horror!) is hardly going to stop the message.
Saudis are disappointed at events in Syria, so to kick things up a notch they'll get those Hezbollah fucks all stirred up.
Im confused do they hate the Iranians for their freedoms?
I love Muslim on Muslim violence. Cuts down on buying gas for drone strikes.
road hazard kill yourself nice and slow.
do it for satan and your jewish team you cunt : )
The Iranians get bombed most likely by people they funded in the past.....
To quote from The Wire, "You play in the dirt, you get dirty"
If you wanna eat cherries with the boys, you must expect a few pits coming your way ...
Could not have happened to nicer people. Cept for the poor bystanders of course.
So, is Al Qaeda "Freedom Fighters" again?
Oops, I forgot: They always were "Freedom Fighters". ...Never mind.
William J. Casey, the former Director of Central Intelligence, personally arranged for Saudi Arabia to sponsor a car bomb attack against a Lebanese Shiite religious leader believed to be involved in terrorism, according to a new book.
The author of the book, Bob Woodward, an assistant managing editor of The Washington Post, writes that the 1985 operation - which failed to kill the Shiite leader but left 62 others dead -was one of three Saudi-sponsored operations arranged by Mr. Casey that circumvented normal C.I.A. procedures.

How do they like their own medicine. MMM mmm MMM.
Oh, and Islam means Peace.
and lulululululu LULULULUULULULU lululululu. I love it when they do that shit, too!
how is life in the IDF anyway? I hear all the guys drop the soap wrestling matches in the showers...
You idiot little fuck, I live in the midwest. Out here in flyover redneckistan. I'm not Jewish, or Yiddish, or in the IDF. Or even in the financial sector. But I love it when a nice, righteous ass whipping takes place. And the fucking miserable little Iranians just got a nice one.
Do you talk this tough face to face? I doubt it, my gentle tones using limp wristed bland lard ass. At least the IDF members are standing for their beliefs. At least the Iranians are standing for their beliefs.
What the fuck have you ever stood for, aside from your cutting edge special operations keyboard ops? Did you wear a pink ribbon for breast cancer awareness? Buy that special bumper sticker to let everyone "know where you stand" on some dumbass issue?
The concept of a real Fight Club makes me salivate, I can't count the lumps I'd take just to see you get your weak little ass stomped flat.
And per your earlier, salient post tut tutting my violent ways and directing me to look inward to reflect and correct, it's coming buddy, via the collapse.
Wait for it!
LF mayor go suck your yiddisha mammas goat tit.
you son of satans spawn..
take your midwest sodomic ways and hang yourself.
enough of your homo gay banter now.
just hush...
Maybe the IDF has a poster of Uncle Sam with a yamaka that speaks to the 'LF mayor' camp
"I want you goy for the United States Army"!
When Obummer comes out and tells the World that Hezbollah was responsible we know we're headed for another major conflict. The script he will be reading from the teleprompter from B.B.' in Tel Aviv of course.
Hope 'Johnny' and 'Suzie Q' Army are ready for Act 3 cause it's going to be reminiscent of what Grandpa told them about 46 years earlier, or perhaps much worse.
Wonder how Mr. Hope and Change is going to sell this one to the American people?!
Proabably from one of these two psychopaths 1) and 2)
Surprisingly low number of comments for a blame Israel article on Zerohedge. Despite the writer's intent, I guess most just aren't buying it. Iran blaming Israel for something is like someone worrying about the sun rising.
House of Saud / House of B.B. ?
Well... You know...
The assholes and mouths are interchangeable.

Occams razor. Something (or somebody) was going on in the Iranian embassy. You can bet that the Mossad has its communications under tight surveillance.
After all, the most feasible way for Iran to retaliate is via Hizbullah and now Saudi Arabia is co-operative with an air attack on Iran...
Time for another assassination and/or a pre-emptive crippling of supply lines...
Front organization can take the credit, that's ok.
On another note: who else is getting these horrible Nail Fungus advertisements on their ZH page? Is this a way to push people to activate their Ad preferences??
I get confused... is Chakka Caca Obongo and the real boss val Jarrett Shia or Sunni??
israel is the house of saud.
the house of saud are israel.
zionism protecting zionism.
what a rothschild concept.
bandar bush and netanya hole.
desperate men
desperate measures.
And it begins...
Yes, a war I'm not going to miss!
I couldn't get this account up in time for Syria (that shitball sizzled in the pan too quick), but I'll settle for I-also-ran.

Saudi Arabia and the Chinese trained the Mujahideen, todays Afghanistan Taliban during Reagan's War... while A.Q. Khan financed Pakistan's Nuclear Program right under our nose's, with our covert funding being channeled off, but,... afraid to sound alarms! Why? Because Reagan could have been impeached by the Iran/ Contra scandal. Like all Presidents he wanted his leagcy to be known as the world's sole crusader and savior from the "Evil Empire" (USSR)!
FAIL'D!!!
Saudi arabia bankroll's al Qaeda as does the entire GCC holding hands with Qatar-- they also bankroll 'Quetta's Mullah Omar, the grand-master of all radical islam Taliban!
ZAP--- al-Zawahiri and Omar, and you will topple al-qaeda and totally destroy the Taliban & al Qaeda
fuck pakistan, afghanistan, china, saudi's, and Zionist Tel (mossad) Aviv
