The Islamic Republic News Agency immediately attributed the shooting to agents supported by the White House. After last weeks assassination too it was officially announced that the bullets that took the life of sheikh Samir Doorakvandi had come from Israel and the United States and other invaders of Iraq. Last year too, after a number of explosions and assassinations shook the city of Ahvaz, intelligence officials arrested a number of suspects on charges of engaging in espionage for foreigners, and executed them. In this latest assassination, the statement that was published on news sites had raised questions such as why must the people of Khuzestan province which has a sea of expensive oil underneath it be not paid as much attention as a single village.
