Iran says explosion near president just fireworks

[gunslingingbird]

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran's official news agency said Wednesday that an explosion near the president's convoy was just an excited fan setting off fireworks, denying earlier reports of an assassination attempt.

A fan set off a firecracker similar to those used during sports matches to express his excitement at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to the western Iranian town of Hamedan, reported the IRNA news agency. The explosion near the president's convoy had set off a flurry of media reports, including one that it was a handmade grenade.

The conservative Iranian website, khabaronline.ir, said a grenade exploded as the president's convoy headed from the airport to the venue for the speech, but did not harm him.

Firecracker... Uh-huh... Right... Iran's official news agency just doesn't want to officially acknowledge that Iranians are officially sick of Ahmadinefuck. Well, it's a start, anyways. :thumbsup:

That's good intel. Now we know just how lax his security is. If a kid can get that close to him with a firecracker imagine what a SEAL could do.

Would be nice if somebody could get that close to Khamenei, though I suppose he would become yet another martyrdom symbol for his cause. My understanding is that he is significantly more secluded and protected.
