| Truck crashes into entrance to mosque in Iranian holy city |
| 2022-02-21 |
| [IsraelTimes] A trailer truck smashes one of the gates at an important place of worship in Iran’s Shiite holy city of Qom and its driver was arrested, the Fars news agency reports. It was not immediately clear whether the incident was accidental or deliberate. Either way, by definition it must be Allah’s will. And the authorities don’t appear to be reacting as if it were jihad. "A truck destroyed gate number six of the holy mosque of Jamkaran and entered the precincts of the sacred place," Fars says, without specifying whether there have been any casualties.It adds that the truck was carrying extra gasoline, but did not specify what led to the incident. The Jamkaran mosque, which welcomes thousands of pilgrims every week, was built on the spot where most Shiites believe the Mahdi, the twelfth imam of Shiite Islam, will return. They believe he disappeared more than a thousand years ago and will return one day to usher in a new era of peace and harmony. Following the incident, pilgrims are evacuated and law enforcement personnel establish a security cordon, Fars adds.
