Two Assassination Attempts

By Sam Gardiner

Over the weekend, the Iranian press reported two assassination attempts.

A prayer leader was killed in the providence of West Azerbaijan in Iran. Press releases point out this is the where the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) has been operating. The PJAK is a U.S. supported group.

In another incident an Iranian public prosecutor was wounded in the Sistan-Baluchestan providence of Iran. Again, the Iranian press imply connections to a U.S. sponsored group. In this case it is Jundullah. The press release mentions that the Jundullah leader has been on the Voice of America.

There is no independent confirmation that the U.S. has had any hand in this incidents, but it is important that the Iranians seem to believe the United States was involved.
