#1 that certain power-groups in the Islamic regime have put out a contract on the blabbermouth president, fearing that as champion of the most way-out factions of the Revolutionary Guards, he may be gathering momentum for a coup.

Or vice versa--he may have staged an unsuccessful assassination attempt as a pre-emtive measure to free his hands to gain momentum for bloody purges and a coup.

In any case, some VIP heads would roll.

#4 Couldn't have been the CIA -- they'd use an IED for Mahmoud. Couldn't have been the Mossad -- they wouldn't miss. Must have been locals.

#6 or it could be someone who thinks Ahmadi Nejad is too moderate or it could be someone who dislikes the 'I had a halo' speech because it is too Christian
