A news agency affiliated with the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
released a video Sunday which purports to show the perpetrators of a shooting attack in a military parade in the Iranian city of Ahwaz which left at least 29 people dead, including women and kiddies, and maimed dozens more, some of them critically.

The footage, released by the Amak news agency, shows three men in a vehicle, apparently on their way to carry out the attack, Haaretz reported.

"We are Moslems, they are heretics," one of the men can be heard saying in the video. "We will kill them with a guerilla attack, inshallah."

Gunmen disguised as soldiers on Saturday attacked the annual Iranian military parade in the country’s oil-rich southwest, marking the anniversary of the start of its 1980-1988 war with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.

The attack saw gunfire sprayed into a crowd of marching soldiers from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, bystanders, and government officials watching from a nearby riser.

Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi told the state news agency IRNA, "the Lions of Islam have undergone training in two countries in the Persian Gulf."

Shekarchi said the dead included a maiden of tender years and a former serviceman in a wheelchair.

"Of the four terrorists, three were sent to hell at the scene, while the fourth who had been maimed and locked away
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
went to hell moments ago due to his severe wounds," Shekarchi told state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
Khuzestan deputy governor Ali-Hossein Hosseinzadeh told the semi-official ISNA news agency that "eight to nine" troops were among those killed, as well as a journalist.
