‘Israel sent us dead insects,’ says Iran

Tehran accused Israel of sending a “virus-laced letter” containing dead bugs to the Iranian mission at the UN headquarters in New York.

According to an outlandish and unconfirmed report in the semi-official Fars news agency Saturday, Iranian diplomats at the mission received a “letter sealed with an Israeli stamp,” and which contained “a number of dead insects.”

The report alleged that the enclosed note read: “Those who are enemies of Israel will be targeted by virus attacks.”

US officials were called to the supposedly infested scene and “dispatched a team of anti-virus experts” to transfer “the virus-laced letter under special care to prevent any possible infection.”

No Iranian diplomat was hurt in the alleged bug-related incident, according to Fars.

do they really think the Mossad is that incompetent or do they think that the US is so gullible?

With an article such as this, one could ask the same question of the posted news source........

As they approach success in their nuke program Israel can send them a mushroom (cloud) or two.

Why waste a dead fish on worthless Iranian's?

Now if Israel wanted to "send a message" they should send Ahmenidijad's head to them .......

Actually that scene from 'The Godfather' was an effective tool of terror because the gangster loved the thorough bred and both his security and that of the horse had been breached to prove that the Corleones could reach him anywhere and anytime they wanted.

So since pigs are unclean and not revered, a radioactive piece of the K'aaba, their holy object of veneration would be a Mo' better 'gift'.

The news of a mushroom cloud over Mecca would sure warm the cockles of my heart. ;>)

> Iranian diplomats at the mission received a “letter sealed with an Israeli stamp,”

And a message saying “Absolutely not from the fine chaps at the Palestinian Make-Israel-Look-Bad headquarters, who by the way are totally rad”

The fake outrage was for consumption by the willingly gullible Muslims back home.

This propaganda isn't directed at the Israelis, nor at us.

This is for their own poor fedayeen. Time, apparently, to gin up some hate.
