Bombings in Iran Kill Revolutionary Guard Commanders
[New York Times] Michael Slackman - At least five commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps were killed and dozens were left dead and wounded on Sunday in two bombings in southeast Iran, home to the Sunni Muslim Baluchi ethnic minority, according to Iranian state news agencies. The Baluchi insurgent group Jundallah took responsibility for the bombings, which included a suicide attack on a community meeting led by Revolutionary Guards and a roadside attack on a car full of Guards, both in the area of Pishin. In the past, Iranian officials have accused the U.S. of financing and arming Jundallah. The U.S. condemned the bombings and denied any connection with them.
