TEHRAN, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran has closed a border crossing with Iraq after at least 78 Iranian pilgrims were killed in recent deadly bombing attacks in the neighboring country, state radio reported Saturday.
Mohsen Hakim, the representative of the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq in Iran, blamed al-Qaida and the remnants of Saddam Hussein's Baath regime for the terror acts, Tehran Times
"Some people intend to weaken historical, deep-rooted, and growing ties between the two nations of Iran and Iraq and the continuation of insecurity in Iraq would justify illegitimate presence of aliens in the region," Qashqavi was quoted by state media as saying.

The Iranians know a whole lot more about the players in the Middle East than we do. They run Hezbollah in case you forgot. They would know if Al Queda was made up and they would have blown the whistle on the hoax.

This is good news...the deaths are not...but it's good news for our relations with Iran and Islam in general.
If we have Al Queda as a common enemy...it's the one way we might end this without massive bloodshed! If Al Queda keeps winning support among Islam we are doomed!
