I think there is a very small chance Mossad may have been involved in this.

With the reports of the Ayatollah being on his deathbed, it may be some group thinks now is the time to strike and strike hard.

On the other hand, it has been usual for the regime to get rid of planeloads of unreliable commanders so they can be replaced with more obedient stooges. But bombing away Revolutionary Guards sounds like a good thing either way.

The "Revolutionary" Guard is the same Gestapo style unit that was terrorizing, beating, raping and shooting the Iranian students who were protesting in the streets for a free, democratic Iran.

In short, these asshole "guards" certainly got what was coming to them.

“Iranian commanders ‘assassinated’”

SNIPPET: “Iranian state media say at least 20 people have died in the attack, in the province of Sistan-Baluchistan.

Iran has previously accused a Sunni resistance group, Jundallah, of terrorist activities in the province.”

"Sunday's news report said the commanders were inside a car on their way to a meeting when an attacker with explosives blew himself up."

I would have a hard time believing Mossad agents are sent out as suicide bombers. But whenever attacks like this occur, Iran always blames the CIA and Mossad. But if reports are true that the Grand Ayatollah's health is rapidly deteriorating, or maybe be dead already, things could get very hinky in Iran's leadership in the coming weeks/months.

Or it could have been "No Achmed, I think you connect the red wire there...................."

HUMMMM, Seems the Islamofascist have found out that Amadjihad is really a Jew.
I wondered how long it would take them to get around to going after the whole bunch.
Are military people that take orders from Amadjihad considered infidels also?

The Iranian website Jahan News, which is close to Iranian intelligence circles, stated that Saudi Arabia was planning to give funding to the Sunni Baluchi opposition organization Jundallah, for a school for suicide bombers in Pakistan.

They say it was a suicide mission but the guards were in a moving vehicle, getting another car close enough and setting off a bomb would be difficult, it seems more likely it was an IED style attack.
