TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- Iran said the gunman who killed Neda Agha-Soltan may have mistaken her for the sister of an Iranian "terrorist," the Islamic Republic News Agency reported Wednesday.
Iran blamed the death of the woman known to the world simply as Neda squarely on "those groups who want to create division in the nation," saying they planned the woman's killing "to accuse the Islamic republic of ruthlessly dealing with the opposition," according to IRNA, Iran's state-run news agency.
The report said the investigation into her death is ongoing, "but according to the evidence so far, it could be said that she was killed by mistake. The marksmen had mistaken her for the sister of one of the Monafeghin {PMOI} who had been executed in the province of Mazandaran some time ago."

...the group initially was formed to oppose the Shah of Iran but fell out of favor with the Islamic Revolution of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini after 1979.

NOTICE: To those who feel the urge to again post their disproven hoax crap, if the
Iranian Mullahs concede Neda's death, show the decency to remain under your rock.
Oh, OK then....
No, YOU & YOUR Basij thugs had it done, you blood-stained mullahs!
What is going on in Iran is OUTRAGEOUS and it is DESPICABLE that our governments are doing diddly squat about it!
I’m with you. Once they admitted she was killed, they were quick to try the point the finger elsewhere.
Of course it was a terrorist group who killed her....They need only look in the mirror.
Government spin, brought to you by the same truth machine team that announced the election results before even bothering to count the votes.
Ain’t it always the case, that when one criminal gets caught he always tries pinning the blame on another criminal?
yeah, that’s the ticket............
Why repeat what you already said?
She most certainly WAS killed by a terrorist group...
the government of Iran.
The mullah’s equivalent of “Bush’s Fault”...
I wandered into the fever swamp of Air America Minnesota when Mike Malloy was on. Of course he’s siding with the mullahs, saying that the so-called protesters were the ones causing all the violence, they were CIA tools, yada yada. That was all I could stand of the moonbattery.
Even the ridiculous CIA crap that some imam wanted to push. Mahmoud is poking at us directly. It’s a shame. A shame we are more focused on the untimely death of a musician than the unraveling of Iran.
Ugh, it's maddening. Oh, so that's where that crap about the CIA involved is getting it's spin? Why should I be surprised. I imagine it would have been a different Mike Malloy talking if McCain had won and Obama supporters had rioted (as the rumors suggested they would).
The ARAB Basij who killed her chose her because she was wearing WESTERN clothing.
Iranians are Persians. They’re not Arabs. They were forced to become Muzlems. But Muzlem is not in their blood, not in their DNA memory. However, FREEDOM is!
