More trouble for Tehran at home
By Olivier Guitta
Further to my last week's article in the Middle East Times regarding Iran's internal rebellion, the newsletter The Croissant (available for a small fee) reported that Khameini’s representative in Eastern Iran was murdered. Indeed after the trouble in Baluchistan, the following story seems to confirm a trend of minorities rebelling against Tehran.
Indeed The Croissant reported that Sheikh Abbassian Abbas, the Supreme Leader’s representative in Taybad (a city located near the Afghan border) responsible for the mobilization and recruitment within the Bassij (a militia at the service of the regime of the mullahs) was killed in an ambush in the city of Khafajia (in the province of Ahvaz, home to a mostly ethnic Arab population). Iranian authorities confirmed this information on 5/6/08.
