World: Iran and Pakistan have some suicide bomb-related drama going on

  • We were informed that some security agents in Pakistan are co-operating with the main elements of this terrorist incident. We regard it as our right to demand these criminals from them.
  • Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad • Making a stand against the Pakistani elements that he says played a part in a suicide bombing that killed 35 people. While it’s possible that Ahmadinejad may be right about this, another Iranian leader claimed that the U.S. was involved, too – which, by the way, the U.S. denies.
