World: The CIA suicide bomber: A James Bond for the jihadist set?

  • Our James Bond, who is he?/He is Abu Dujana!/His motto: Let me die or live free!/Our James Bond, what did he seek?/Not power or money,/But justice for the weak.
  • A poem by militant blogger Asadullah Alshishani • Regarding the death of Humam Khalil Abu Mulal al-Balawi, also known by the pen name Abu Dujana al-Khorasani, who died in a suicide bombing attack on the CIA last week. al-Balawi was a double agent and used this to the CIA’s disadvantage. More interestingly, his anti-Western writings as al-Khorasani were celebrated by extremists. Books will be written about this guy and his mountain of contradictions. source

World: Iranian icon Ruhollah Khomeini’s shrine hit by suicide bomber

  • Two people were wounded in the bombing. The suicide bomber killed himself at the shrine of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who led the 1979 Iranian Revolution and was the iconic face of Islam to the Western world in the 1980s. Khomeini, Iran’s Supreme Leader before his son Ali took over after his 1989 death, was a popular leader during his life, but could be seen as a point of contention in the wake of the massive protests. source
