Assassination attempt at Ahmadinejad
It seems like someone tried to kill Ahmadinejad by throwing a grenade at him. http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/me...id=llBGVXh8UNV
As much as I would personally wish that this guy died, the rise of tensions would be unpredictable. Iran would probably blame the USA or Israel and the result could be dangerous like a 2nd Sarajevo 1914. |

Wonder if it has anything to do with Nutjob recently stating he wants to meet with Obama 'face to face'.

Do we have any confirmation that it was an assassination attempt?
There is a considerable difference between a "fire cracker" and a grenade. Like most things that happen in Iran, we will probably never know the truth.
