Suicide bomber attacks Khomeini shrine in Iran


ca.news.yahoo.com
TEHRAN (Reuters) - A suicide bomber blew himself up at the mausoleum of the father of Iran's revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, state media said Saturday, in an attack coinciding with more unrest over a disputed presidential vote.

"A few minutes ago a suicide bomber exploded himself in the shrine," police official Hossein Sajedinia was quoted by the semi-official Mehr news agency as saying.

Press TV said the attacker died and eight people were injured. It said the attack took place at the northern entrance to the Imam Khomeini shrine.

A very valid point. If the protesters are seen as lawless and violent then no one will protest if they are subdued violently by the government. It would be hypocritical of the West especially to tacitly support them even though they oppose the current government if they are using terrorist tactics to get their point across. It's a very sticky situation now.
