Assassination Attempt Targets President of Iran

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, who recently shamed Western nations for their disgraceful treatment of intellectuals who dare question accepted WWII "Holocaust" dogma, and is under threat of Israeli airstrikes, was the target of an assassination attempt, according to Jomhouri Islami, an Iranian news source.

"At 6:50 pm on Thursday [December 15, 2005], the lead car in the presidential motorcade confronted armed bandits and trouble-makers on the Zabol-Saravan highway," the report said. "In the ensuing armed clash, the driver of the vehicle, who was an indigenous member of the security services, and one of the president's bodyguards died, while another bodyguard was wounded." The attack occured near the city of Zabol, the same city where Ahmadinejad made his latest "Holocaust" pronouncements.
