Iran's Judiciary Spokesman Jamal Karimi-Rad in a press briefing [said that Tehran's public prosecutor has] been threatened with death by a terrorist group. Karimi-Rad said a terrorist grouplet calling itself the Rotary International Oprah's Book Club Dalai Lama Brigade in the Land of the Too-Tight Turbans Fedaiyan Guerillas, which claimed to have killed Judge Masoud Moqaddas, has issued such a threat on its website. The spokesman added that international organizations and countries allegedly fighting terrorism refused to condemn the assassination of an Iranian judge and once again showed their double standards and gave lie to their claim of defending human rights. "This places a heavy responsibility on the press to disseminate and deplore such dualism," ISNA further quoted him as saying.| "Yeah. It was all the fault of the West. Certainly the noble mujahideen...er, gunnies and shadowy insurgency ringleaders bear no responsibility. It's a cultural thing. You wouldn't understand." |
 Judge Masoud Moqaddas, involved in some of Iran's high-profile political cases, was gunned down while leaving office a week ago. The motive is still unclear. | Nope, nope. No clues at all. Not even one. Better go ask the Magic 8-Ball® then. Although it will prolly tell you to "Ask again later." |
Karimi-Rad said coordinated efforts are underway by judicial, intelligence and police forces to identify the assailants. |
