cre_v — 04.08.2010 Al-Jazeera: Ahmadinejad attack 'was firework'

Reports of an 'attack' on the Iranian president's convoy were sparked by a teenager throwing a firework, an eyewitness has said.

Khabar Online, an Iranian website, reported on Wednesday that a homemade grenade exploded near Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's motorcade in western Iran. He was unhurt in the incident, the website said.

The website said the explosion happened as Ahmadinejad was on his way to address a crowd and that one person had been arrested.

But a witness to the incident told Al Jazeera that

a teenager threw a fire-cracker that landed near the convoy. The witness said that the youth was taken away, but did not believe that it was a genuine assassination attempt.  

Al Jazeera's Alireza Ronaghi, reporting from Iran, said: "Presidential sources say a firecracker went off near Ahmadinejad's convoy. They deny it was anything bigger than that and say Ahmadinejad and his entourage are OK.

"When I contacted the president's office in Tehran [the capital of Iran], officials vehemently denied any such incident," he said.

BBC: Iranian officials have denied that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was targeted in an assassination attempt.
"It was a firecracker, and a statement will be released soon," an official in the president's media office told the Agence France-Presse news agency.

Есдинственное, что понятно на сегодняшний момент это последующие претеснения противников политики Ахмадинежада, а также очередной неприятный виток в Ирано-Американских отношениях. (У мальчишки дома обязательно найдут что-нибудь прозападное и антиисламкое)
