Iran: Mossad Behind London Booms
One of the country's top clerics, Ayatollah Mohammed Emami-Kashani, said they were the direct result of the UK's support for US and Israeli policies. The ayatollah called al-Qaeda an "illegitimate child" of the West. The Friday prayer leader said it was divine justice that a group which had nothing to do with Islam had now conspired against its backers. The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says Iran's view is that US funding for extremist Sunni Muslim groups opposing the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan in the 1980s set the stage for the emergence of the Taleban and al-Qaeda. A commentary on Iranian state radio, meanwhile, blamed the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, for the attacks. This savagery is not Islam - it is coming from inside of you and it is now punching you. Poltergeist?? It said Mossad was the only group capable of carrying out such operations in London and had often tried to attract attention to its opponents during G8 meetings in the past.
