TEHRAN, June 30 (RIA Novosti) - Enemies of Iran attempted to kill President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with high-intensity X-ray radiation during his recent trip to Italy, Iran's former ambassador in Rome said on Monday.
Ahmadinejad attended a global summit on food at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Rome headquarters in early June.
"On the eve of the [Iranian] president's visit to Rome, we checked the radiation levels in his temporary residence," Abolfazi Zohrevand told Iran's IRNA news agency.
"We found out that the radiation was higher than normal and its intensity was rapidly increasing," he said, adding that several devices were used to avoid potential error in readings, but they all showed the same results.
Earlier, Ahmadinejad himself mentioned another assassination attempt during his March visit to Baghdad and said only changes to his schedule had foiled the plot. However, the West and even some inner Iranian circles dismissed his allegations.
The Iranian president pledged last week to provide proof that the United States was behind an attempt on his life in Iraq.
Ahmadinejad, 51, who became president in 2005, is a strong critic of the West and has also called for Israel "to be wiped off the map," while Washington considers Iran to be the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Maybe it was the Holy Spirit trying to scare some sense into him.
What a paranoid goofball.
Hmmmm... Ahmadinejad smelling like radiation... Look in his suitcase!
Anyone want to bet the radiation source was Ahmadenijad himself as he approached his room? He’s probably made one too many visits to his country’s rapidly built nuclear bomb manufacturing facilities.
Put a tinfoil hat on that guy.
Actually, it would be bad for him to be eliminated since he presents such a wonderfully evil depiction of Iran’s leaders.
Or a lead cup. A lead teacup, that is...
I was thinking in terms that HE brought the radiation with him via a suitcase nuke.
Oh, let’s not be silly! Everyone knows Karl Roves mind control machine is based here in Pennsylvania.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Some punch lines just write themselves.
I’m beginning to suspect that the guy isn’t playing with a full deck in a canoe with one oar that goes in one ear and is gone tomorrow.
To bad they didn’t make a Pizza Frete out of him.
Please, let it be so!!!! But no such luck.
I saw a design once for an X-ray gun and I’ve always thought that this might be an effective, though sneaky, weapon.
I thought Rove could only control the weather?
Rove sold it to Obama's Weathermen to be used to avoid natural calamities over the next eight years. They haven't figured it out yet thus the latest Midwest floods.
That’s nothing.
You were also fed during the state dinner non-halal food cooked in pig oil.
It should only take maybe 30 minutes and this goat humping female castrating moonbot dung eater will only have a few more things to whine like a little girl about!
Cyrus the Great was ten feet tall compared to you useless midget hump did I say you were a useless midget hump?
