22 Dead In Suicide Bomb Attack on Iranian Mosque

Two suicide bombers have killed at least 22 people at a Shia mosque in south-eastern Iran, officials say.

The first bomber blew himself up at a checkpoint outside the Jamia mosque in the city of Zahedan, with a more deadly second blast moments later.

Worshippers and Revolutionary Guards were reportedly among the dead.

Regional media reported that a Sunni rebel group, Jundullah, said it carried out the attacks in revenge for the hanging of its leader by Iran in June.

This follows a suicide bombing in October 2009 in Zahedan that killed 37 and targeted at least five senior Revolutionary Guard officers. That attack also took place in Iran's Baluchestan province that abuts both the Afghan and Pakistani border.

BREAKING: Senior Iranian Military Commanders Among 37 Killed in Suicide Bombing.

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — A suicide bomber killed five senior commanders of the powerful Revolutionary Guard and at least 37 others Sunday near the Pakistani border in the heartland of a potentially escalating Sunni insurgency.

The attack — which also left dozens wounded — was the most high-profile strike against security forces in an outlaw region of armed tribal groups, drug smugglers and Sunni rebels known as Jundallah, or Soldiers of God.

That really would be too bad about any civilians killed in the attack. Of course there's not telling how many jailed, dead and 'disappeared' Iranian citizens there are from this springs post-election protests in Iran at the hands of the Revolutionary Guard and Basij.

As for the Revolutionary Guard commanders- what can I say? Not so fun being on the receiving end of those, is it Mahmoud?
