I’m not saying good,
But I’m not too upset nor am I losing sleep over this.

Is this another one, or another report on the earlier one?

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iranian officials on Sunday ruled out an attack as the cause of an explosion that killed 11 people inside a mosque in the southern city of Shiraz.

The explosion ripped through the mosque packed with hundreds of worshippers late Saturday as a cleric delivered his weekly speech against extremist Wahabi beliefs and the outlawed Bahai faith, the semiofficial Fars news agency said.

Authorities said besides the 11 killed, 191 people were wounded, some of them critically, the state IRNA news agency reported.

On Sunday, the deputy interior minister in charge of security, Abbas Mohataj, said the explosion was “the result of an incident.” He didn’t elaborate.

The police chief of the southern Fars Province, Gen. Ali Moayyedi, said he “rejects” the possibility of an intentional bombing and “any sort of insurgency” in the blast.

Moayyedi, in comments carried by state IRNA news agency, said the initial investigation found remnants of ammunition from a military exhibition that was held recently at the mosque.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini said Sunday that no group has claimed responsibility for the explosion.

Earlier, the Fars agency quoted a local police official as saying a homemade bomb had caused the explosion and indicated the attack could been religiously motivated. But the agency backed off those speculations on Sunday.

A witness to the blast, Mostafa Nazari, told The Associated Press that some 1,000 worshippers had gathered at the mosque grounds to hear a cleric speak. He said it was fortunate the blast happened at a part of the building far from the podium, around which most of the audience had crowded.

Shiraz, some 440 miles south of Tehran and the capital of Fars province, is a major draw for foreign tourists who come to see the ruins of nearby Persepolis, the capital of ancient Persia.

"The munitions left at the site could have caused this explosion," he added."

Yeah, right.

The basement was a bomb and munitions manufacturing facility, preparing for war and arming the foreign terrorists in Iraq.

If this is the way they do things ... let 'em build the freakin' bomb ... they'll blow themselves up.

They were probably praying to Allah to kill the pigs and infidels right before the explosion.

Maybe we should give them small tactical nukes.........but only if we provide the “instruction manual”.

But this event sort of lends all kinds of images of basement luncheons after the sermon doesn’t it? Coffee, cake and C-4. And fitting bomb vests to those pesky 8 year olds.

Moderate muslins under attack by the extremists within. Let’s hope these types of attacks initiate some action of the muslims to clean up their own house.

Yup. That sure sounds like an accident.

But, But, But, Harry Reid said that Al-Qaida had nothing to do with the Shiites? Maybe Harry needs to get a clue.

They were putting together one of those Acme Bomb Kits they mailed away for.

It was supposed to go to Iraq.

Remember when you said things don’t go “BOOM!” in Iran as in the rest of the Middle East?

Here’s one for you.

"Of course you can use the church basement for a pot-luck dinner," said the pastor, "but first we have to move the munitions we have stored down there out to the Sunday-school storage room."

When the crates say “Don’t Stack More Than 3 High” they mean it!

I read in another article about this blast that there’s a Sunni militant group called Jundallah (possibly linked to AQ) is responsible for low-level insurgency in southern Iran. This group blew up a van full of Revolutionary Guards back in February. Maybe they did it?

God Moves in Mysterious Ways - lyrics by Cowper.

God moves in a mysterious way
his wonders to perform;
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
and rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
of never failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs
and works his sovereign will.

You fearful saints, fresh courage take;
the clouds you so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
in blessings on your head.

His purposes will ripen fast,
unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
but sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err
and scan his work in vain:
God is his own interpreter,
and he will make it plain.
