Iran summons Pakistani charge d'affairs over deadly bomb attack
2009-10-18
Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned on Sunday Pakistani charge d'affairs to Tehran over the deadly suicide bomb attack in the country.

Following the terrorist incident in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan- Baluchestan, Iran summoned Pakistani charge d'affairs in the absence of its ambassador to Tehran. In the meeting, Iran's Foreign Ministry official expressed his country's strong regret over the news that the terrorist elements have entered Iran using Pakistan territory, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Ask the Indians about how they feel in that regard ...
The Iranian official urged the Pakistani authorities to "strongly deal with the movement of the terrorist elements in the soil of Pakistan," the report said.

For his part, the Pakistani charge d'affairs condemned the Sunday terrorist attack in Iran and expressed his country's deep sympathy with Iranians over the terrorist attack.
Just as he did for the Indians ...
Stating that Pakistan itself is the victim of terrorism, he claimed his country's readiness to cooperate with the Islamic Republic to identify the terrorists and to fight them.

Early on Sunday, a deadly bomb attack occurred in Iran's southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan near Iran's border with Pakistan, killing some 30 people, including a number of Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders, and wounded 30 others, according to the official IRNA news agency. The Sunni rebel group Jundallah (God's soldiers) has claimed responsibility for the deadly suicide attack.

#4  VARIOUS > seems AHMADINEJAD has formally accused PAKISTAN not only being a US PUPPET/PROXY in the attack, but espec in HARBORING OR SHELTERING ALLEGED US TRAINED/SUPPOR, ANTI-IRAN GOVT. JUNDALLAH MILITANTS. MOUD = TEHRAN is demanding PAKIS stop suppor for The Jundallah + similar US-trained Group, stop obeying US Orders, + work to isolate and defeat the US-trained Groups???

BRITAIN > on its part is BLAMING AL QAEDA for the attack, claiming that AL QAEDA NOW HAS ACHIEVED CAPABILITIES FOR ISRAEL-MOSSAD STYLE
"PREEMPTIVE ATTACKS".

IOW, BRIT SCOPE = indir infers that AL QAEDA = RADICAL ISLAM is GETTING STRONGER, NOT WEAKER.

Well, I guess we now have the answer to the old question 'Who would they blame if Israel wasn't around'.
