Iran: U.S., Israel destroyed Iraqi shrine
Freeman
Except that this provocation may have been done for the specific
purpose of embroiling Iran, the better to invade it (rather than from
"weakness" - !).

Why were Arab journalist Atwar Bahjat and two of her crew killed after
they reported on the bombing in Samarra? Did they find out too much?

The bombers arrived at the shrine dressed in police uniforms, tied up
the guards, and planted charges around the dome ...

NASSER KARIMI, Associated Press, TEHRAN, Iran -
"Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad blamed the United States and
Israel on Thursday for the destruction of a Shiite shrine's golden dome
in Iraq, saying it was the work of "defeated Zionists and occupiers."
"Speaking to a crowd of thousands on a tour of southwestern Iran, the
president referred to the destruction of the Askariya mosque dome in
Samarra on Wednesday, which the Iraqi government has blamed on
insurgents.
""They invade the shrine and bomb there because they oppose God and
justice," Ahmadinejad said, alluding to the U.S.-led multinational
forces in Iraq.
""These passive activities are the acts of a group of defeated Zionists
and occupiers who intended to hit our emotions," he said in a speech
that was broadcast on state television. Addressing the United States,
he added: "You have to know that such an act will not save you from the
anger of Muslim nations." ..."

For once, I can't but agree with everyone else on this group that
you're a delusional nutter.

too stupid to organize anything for himself.

group had overpowered mosque guards and laid charges that brought down
the 20-metre wide, 100-year-old gilded dome" of the Askariya Shrine.

"Al-Arabiya said it lost contact with its team at 1500 GMT, shortly
after nightfall. The three bullet-ridden bodies were found the
following morning.
"Her last report was replayed by al-Arabiya on Thursday morning
The station has been showing the last report Bahjat filed - in fading
light beside a road outside Samarra, close to where the team was
kidnapped.
"They had been about to return to base in the northern city of Kirkuk
when two gunmen drove up in a pick-up truck, al-Arabiya correspondent
Ahmed al-Saleh reported on the morning news programme.
"The two gunmen started firing their machine-guns in the air, which
caused the people to panic and to run away," Saleh said.
"One of them started shouting 'We want the anchorwoman'. Atwar was in
the news van and shouted to the crowd to help her.
"The crew tried to speak to the gunmen, but they snatched them and took
them an unknown location." ..."
