TEHERAN, Iran — Iran's semiofficial Mehr News Agency on Friday said simultaneous blasts have struck three pipelines near the city of Qom, cutting the flow of gas.
Mehr said the blasts, which occurred at 5:50 a.m. locat time (2:20 GMT) outside the town of Salafchegan, 130 kilometers south of Teheran, were felt kilometers away.
Local official Majid Bojarzadeh said the blasts were not caused by technical failures, but did not elaborate if officials believed the explosions were acts of sabotage.
He said operations were under way to repair the pipelines and restore the gas flow.
Iran's oil and gas sector has been hit by an increasing number of attacks in recent months, but authorities have provided no explanations for the blasts.
Mehr did not say how much gas flows through the lines.
We got a taste of it after the Gaza elections (when to the shock of the Bush admin., Hamas won). Free elections are seen by many to be the be all / end all of democracy, but the latter only works if the electorate is of sound character. ....a rarity in that part of the world, to put it mildly.
Gotta love Freerepublic. Learn new stuff here all the time.
” There are time zones all over the world that are offset by 30 minutes.”

In Iran, Obama sided with the Islamists (the Mullahs); In Egypt, Obama sided with the Islamists (the Muslim Brotherhood).
B-HO is simply an Islamophile.
Yes, some of them are. Check the time zones on your computer's clock. Tehran and Kabul are two. There's one that's offset by 45 minutes.
Murbarak is 82,,,hence aka obamas bravado
I said usually.
actualy yes they are. the mulah’s are quite nuts. Even chaves is offset by 15min if I remember correctly.
the Bush administration was surrounded by leftist CIA agents(think Plame)...I can imagine that the zer0 regime, awards this behavior.
Qom is where the Grand High Poobahs of the Mullahocracy hang out. Guess the resistance is trying to freeze them to death.
Blackwater?
Iranian group to target Iran energy to weaken govt
"In the next 12 months, there will be action taken to destabilise the energy sector, which has been plundered by Ahmadinejad and his entourage for personal profit and to finance terrorist groups overseas," Jahanshahi said.
"I take responsibility for everything that will happen in the energy sector, but I can't say more."
He said his movement did not need help from external forces.

We live in interesting times. Thanks for the link.
Lefties and muzzies unite to cut off Adam Smith's invisible hand.
Tyhink of the worm that sabotages their nuclear facilities by hosing up the valves and other control systems.
The same type of worm could also go after their gas and possibly oil pipelines.
You'll recall that George W. Bush used the term "freedom" and avoided the term "democracy" for a long time in the early days of engagement over there. Unfortunately, the Administration got too confident.
It's okay...it's just Newfies. ;-)
