| [Iran Press TV] Iranian Interior Minister the sinister Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar Interior minister of Iran and a former defense minister of Iran. He is a veteran of the Revolutionary Guards since the establishment of the body in 1980... has urged vigilance against enemy plots, targeting solidarity among Sunni and Shia Mohammedans in the country. On December 15, beturbanned goons targeted a mourning procession marking the anniversary of the martyrdom of the third Shia Imam Hussein (PTUI!) near a mosque in the port city of Chabahar in Sistan-Baluchestan Province. The massive kaboom left more than 33 people dead and maimed scores of others, raising speculations that the attack was aimed at creating a sectarian rift -- as in neighboring Pakistain. "The Iranian nation must be vigilant because these blind moves are carried out by the enemy with the intention of targeting national cohesion and dividing Shia and Sunni Mohammedans," IRNA quoted Mohammad-Najjar as saying in the port city of Chabahar on Friday. He cited Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei as warning against an enemy plot to blame the attack on the country's Sunni community. "Zionist criminals mastermind such dreadful crimes and the Medes and the Persians needs to exercise more vigilance," the minister cautioned. Mohammad-Najjar said the enemies have designated Chabahar as "one of the most strategic and at the same time safest" regions in Iran and are thus making an attempt to instigate violence through conducting acts of terror in the city. "Iran, as the center of Islamic awakening, has conquered the peaks of progress, and has turned into an international role model and the enemies are enraged by these achievements," he stated. He pointed out that the bombing on Shia mourners and other recent terrorist attacks had occurred in border cities hosting both Shia and Sunni Mohammedans to turn Mohammedans against one another. "But the enemy's hope will certainly turn into despair," Mohammad-Najjar said, vowing to prosecute all those involved in the mass murder in Chabahar. |
