TEHRAN, Iran - The 300 men filling out forms in the offices of an Iranian aid group were offered three choices: Train for suicide attacks against U.S. troops in Iraq (news - web sites), for suicide attacks against Israelis or to assassinate British author Salman Rushdie.

It looked at first glance like a gathering on the fringes of a society divided between moderates who want better relations with the world and hard-line Muslim militants hostile toward the United States and Israel.

But the presence of two key figures — a prominent Iranian lawmaker and a member of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards — lent the meeting more legitimacy and was a clear indication of at least tacit support from some within Iran's government.

"The 300 men filling out forms..."

Yet another target of opportunity missed.

Sounds like a good idea for a sting operation.

I've been authorized by my shooting club to recruit suicidal Iranians for live targets at our outdoor tactical range. Sort of a good, old-fashioned turkey shoot except with Iranians. Suicidal Iranians. Any suicidal Iranians should drop me a line here at FR if they're interested.

to assassinate British author Salman Rushdie.

Salman Rushdie? Man, can't these slime bags ever get over a grudge? They are still after this guy?
