Blast at British Airways Offices in Iran
2005-11-03
A homemade grenade exploded outside the offices of British Airways in Tehran on Wednesday, causing no casualties, the British Embassy said. Embassy spokeswoman Mitra Behnam Mojtahedi said the bomb exploded on the 10th floor of the building where the airline's offices are located. She said it was not clear if the target was British Airways, as other foreign companies have offices on the same floor, including British Petroleum, Lloyds and Mercedes Benz. But British Airways offices were the closest to the bomb, which was placed next to the stairs' door. Mojtahedi said the explosion broke some windows but nobody was wounded. Police are investigating, she added.

#3  Read a story yesterday (Taheri?) that the Iranian gov was diverting the marchers away from the Brit embassy and businesses, almost like they are responsible for suspected bombings and didn't want their supporters injured.

#2  This is so typically Iranian, the finger prints of the government are all over it. Look for a uptick of terrorist acts against the UK all over the world not jsut in Iran and Iraq.
