Explosion kills 18 Revolutionary Guards
EIGHTEEN Revolutionary Guards have been killed in a fire at an ammunitions store at one of the elite force's bases in western Iran, the state IRNA news agency has reported.

"Eighteen members of the forces at the base were killed and 14 wounded" in Tuesday's explosion, IRNA quoted Guards commander Yadollah Bouali as saying.

Two days of mourning have been declared in Lorestan province after the blast at the Imam Ali base near the provincial capital Khorramabad, IRNA said.

Mr Bouali said on Tuesday that the explosion hit when a fire spread to the munitions store at the base.

Maybe they should keep their ammo in a mosque like everyone else.

#4 Just because they don't say it's a mosque, doesn't mean the "Ammunition Store" wasn't one.
Remember "Disinformation" whenever posible.
