| Anti-US Chants as Slain Iran Nuclear Expert Buried | |
| 2012-01-14 | |
| [ABC News] Thousands of mourners chanted "Death to Israel" and "Death to America™" on Friday during the funeral of a slain nuclear expert whom Iranian officials accuse the two nations of killing in a kaboom this week as part of a secret operation to stop Iran's nuclear program. The liquidation of Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan has raised calls in Iran for retaliation against the U.S. and Israel, and an independent news website Friday said Iran is preparing a covert counteroffensive against the West. Roshan, a chemistry expert and a director of the Natanz uranium enrichment facility in central Iran, was killed in a brazen daylight liquidation when two assailants on a cycle of violence attached a magnetic bomb to his car Wednesday in Tehran. The killing bore a strong resemblance to earlier killings of scientists working on the Iranian nuclear program. State TV showed thousands of people carrying Roshan's coffin through central Tehran before it was taken to a north cemetery for burial. As it marched, the crowd chanted "death to terrorists."

| #4 "As a domestic example, imagine if a truck bomb went off at a major Mafia funeral? It could wipe out dozens of top gangsters." Once. |

| #3 To paraphrase Sharon, "Iranians kill Iranians, and Americans are blamed." If this is internal resistance rather than factional fighting, the opposition is proving to be pretty resourceful, both in terms of equipment and intel. |

| #2 Muslims grasp the idea that funeral-protests are the very best time to attack their enemies with bombs. When will westerners figure this out? Much violence could be avoided in the future if someone would learn to take advantage of such situations. As a domestic example, imagine if a truck bomb went off at a major Mafia funeral? It could wipe out dozens of top gangsters. |

| #1 Considering working conditions in 3rd world shitholes.. and that the product is radioactive... the quick death might have been less painful then the slow cancerous death. Hell the US and USSR even had trouble safely making the stuff. |
