TEHRAN, Iran -- The official IRNA news agency reports a suicide bombing near a mosque in southeastern Iran has killed dozens at a Shiite mourning ceremony.
IRNA said the attacker struck outside Imam Hussein Mosque in the city of Chahbahar near the border with Pakistan on Wednesday. Dozens were also injured.
The bombing appeared to target a group mourning Ashoura, which marks the 7th century death of the grandson of Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

CIA, Mosad, MI6!!!!
If Iran’s Green Movement follows the pattern of earlier opposition movements, two scenarios seem likely. The movement will fade away after the government decapitates its leadership and successfully intimidates its foot soldiers. Or a hardened and professional core group will take over a vastly smaller movement and lead it into a violent urban insurgency.
It is one thing for idealistic students and office workers to throw rocks at riot police and put up with tear gas. It is something else for the mass of momentarily enthusiastic but unhardened activist-trainees to watch heads be broken, endure interrogation at Evin Prison, or learn about gruesome threats from Basij militiamen directed at their sisters and mothers.
For another very real possible scenario written on February 16, 2010
Will urban terrorism emerge from Iran’s Green Movement?
Not everything that goes wrong in Iran is the CIA, MI6 or Mossads plot.
Iran can be responsible for their own actions as well.
TEHRAN, Iran—Iran on Thursday hanged two men convicted of trying to topple the country's clergy-led regime, the first known executions of opposition activists since unrest broke out following June's disputed presidential elections, the Web site of state television reported.
The report identified the two men as Mohammad Reza Ali Zamani and Arash Rahmanipour, and said they were convicted of trying to topple "the Islamic establishment" and of membership in armed opposition groups.
So yes, Their own Government can and has created a situation where their own people may want some payback.

No, urban terrorism will NOT emerge from "Iran's Green movement".
Most certainly not because some ignorant person named Robert Haddick writes about it in his BLOG. You really know how to pick your sources alongside those troll gifs huh?
While this person writes about the people that were imprisoned in Evin, I know people that have been in there. And in no way would they want to harm their country or their countrymen and women. In fact, they're free to travel out and into Iran. But I bet you didn't know that.
It's okay that ignorant folks like you don't comprehend the issue and choose to listen to people with no understanding of the issue, let alone experience, but hey, who am I to stop you from making yourself look like an utter idiot.
Like oozy stated, the US, Israel, Brittain and their Arabic stoolies have been fighting a proxy war against Iran since, I guess a little over a 100 years. It's okay, you just don't know. Go along, play some computergames and look for some troll gifs but please, don't utter a single word about Iran when you're completely ignorant about the country, its history, its people and its present. Thank you, bye bye.

I was arrested in fall 2004 because of my work as a political editor for several reformist newspapers in Iran, as well as my critical comments about the regime on my blog and on other Web sites.

Two years ago, I returned to Iran to visit my sick mother, who died shortly after my arrival. On May 8, 2007 — the day I was to fly home to the United States — Iranian security agents arrested me at the Tehran airport for trying to overthrow the regime nonviolently through a “soft” revolution.

Those three million protestors in the street? Why are they not there now? Asked them yet?
INDEED they are ready to die for their nation, but not because some foreign power wants them to. I am an Iranian myself with a little more inside information than...you.

Time to wake up from La-La-Land son.
How in the world can anyone call Muslim countries humane? The world will be a much better place when Islam no longer exists... Or at least the moderate Muslims need to stand up and stop these fanatics.. They better hurry, the fanatics are about to out number the moderates.
Your majorly down playing the element of FEAR.
Wasn't it "The Iranian People" in the streets back in 1979 that overthrew the Shaw?
What makes you think "The Iranian People" wouldn't do it again? You know history does repeat itself. Those who ignore or are ignorant of it are doomed to repeat it.
