A suspected Iranian man is severely injured in Thailand after a grenade explodes on a Bangkok street. Msnbc's Chris Jansing reports the incident could escalate tensions between Israel and Iran, whom Israel accuses of several assassination attempts on its citizens.
BANGKOK -- An Iranian man carrying grenades blew off his own legs and wounded four civilians Tuesday after an earlier blast shook his house in Bangkok, Thai authorities said. The explosions came a day after an Israeli diplomatic car was bombed in India — an attack Israel blamed on Iran.
Authorities said it's unclear whether the Bangkok explosions were linked to the New Delhi attack, but in Jerusalem Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said, "we can't rule out any possibility."
Thai security forces found more explosives in a house where the Iranian man was staying in Bangkok, but the possible targets were not known, Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat said.
A passport found at the scene of one blast indicated the assailant was Saeid Moradi from Iran, Pansiri said. Authorities in Tehran could not immediately be reached for comment.

Tuesday's violence began in the afternoon when a stash of explosives apparently detonated by accident in Moradi's house, blowing off part of the roof. Police said two foreigners quickly left the residence, followed by a wounded Moradi.
"He tried to wave down a taxi, but he was covered in blood, and the driver refused to take him," Pansiri said. He then threw an explosive at the taxi and began running.
Police who had been called to the area then tried to apprehend Moradi, who hurled a grenade to defend himself. "But somehow it bounced back" and blew off his legs, Pansiri said.

A member of Thailand's explosives disposal unit inspects the scene of a bomb blast that injured a man thought to be Iranian on a roadside in Bangkok Tuesday.
Photos of the wounded Iranian showed him covered in dark soot on a sidewalk strewn with broken glass. He lay in front of a Thai primary and secondary school. No students were reported wounded.
A motorcycle taxi driver who arrived on the scene shortly after the explosion said he saw the man identified as Moradi lying on the ground with his leg blown off.
"Luckily school hadn't finished yet, otherwise there would be more injuries," Dechchart Puangket told NBC News.
A dark satchel nearby was investigated by a bomb disposal unit. Pansiri said police found Iranian currency, US dollars and Thai money in the bag.
Three Thai men and one Thai woman were brought to Kluaynamthai Hospital for treatment of injuries, said Suwinai Busarakamwong, a doctor there.
The blasts came a day after bomb attacks targeted Israeli embassy staff in India and Georgia. Israel accused Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah of being behind those attacks. Hezbollah is a Shiite Islamist group backed by Syria and Iran that is on the official U.S. blacklist of foreign terrorist organizations.
An Israeli official told news website Ynet that the Bangkok explosions appeared to be a "bombing gone wrong."
Second Iranian detained
Another Iranian was detained Tuesday night at Bangkok's international airport as he attempted to leave for neighboring Malaysia, said police commander Winai Thongsong. Authorities were interrogating the man, but it was not yet known whether he was involved in Tuesday's blasts.

Tuesday's violence began when a stash of explosives apparently detonated by accident in a Bangkok house, blowing off part of the roof.
While Thai officials declined to speculate on whether the two men they had detained were involved with any militant group,
Israeli Minister of Defense Ehud Barak blamed Iran.
"The attempted terrorist attack in Bangkok proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terror,'' Barak said on a visit to Singapore.
"Iran and Hezbollah are unrelenting terror elements endangering the stability of the region, and endangering the stability of the world,'' said Barak, who spent a few hours in Bangkok on Sunday.
Israel accuses Iran of bombings in India, Georgia
Last month, a Lebanese-Swedish man with alleged links to pro-Iranian Hezbollah militants was detained by Thai police. He led authorities to a warehouse filled with more than 8,800 pounds of urea fertilizer and several gallons of liquid ammonium nitrate.
Israel and the United States at the time warned their citizens to be alert in the capital, but Thai authorities said Thailand appeared to have been a staging ground but not the target of any attack.
Immigration police are trying to trace Moradi's movements, but initial reports indicated he flew into Thailand from Seoul, South Korea on Feb. 8, Pansiri said. He landed at the southern Thai resort town of Phuket, then stayed in a hotel in Chonburi, a couple hours drive southeast of Bangkok, for several nights.
Bangkok's blasts came one day after bombs targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia. The attack in India wounded four people, while the device found in Georgia did not explode. Iran has denied it was responsible.
Israeli police have increased the state of alert in the country, emphasizing public places, foreign embassies and offices, as well as Ben-Gurion International Airport.
Thailand has rarely been a target for foreign terrorists, although a domestic Muslim insurgency in the country's south has involved bombings of civilian targets.

Terrorism (i.e. bombing civilians) has never solved any problems, and it never will. If the terrorists realized this, the world would be a better place.
It would take generations to understand what you mention.......and only if they start practicing it NOW!
Dumb ass Iranian ''a bomb he threw at police bounced off a tree and exploded near him,'' So people want to accuse Israel of assasinating Iranian nuclear weapon scientists that are attempting to develop a nuclear weapon to commit mass murder,this may or may not be true but if it is I would say that may be prudent? Now when the muslims murder it is indiscriminate such as this Iranian throwing a bomb at Thai police,WHAT A DUMBASS!
I laughed when I read the description of how he blew his legs off. If you're religious, it must be Gods small way of working in mysterious ways. and for the scientific crowd, Darwinism! HAHAHAHA
It's always a pleasant surprise to wake up to a feel-good story on MSNBC...
A man thought to be Iranian was seriously wounded in Bangkok on Tuesday when a bomb he was carrying exploded and blew one of his legs off
This really sould be on the section about DUMB crooks and terrorists!
Is Iran trying to set the entire world against them? Is their way to ensure 75 million Iranians get the express train to Virgin City? Allah is gonna be royally p*ssed when he has to provide 5.4 billion virgins on short notice.
Israel is not directly responsible for the assassinations of the scientists in Iran (allegedly). They are accused by of Iran of being indirectly responsible. Appearently Iran even Iran suspects the assassins are not Jews, but Farsi speaking locals.
Allegedly Israel trained these Islamic Jihadists, or Mujahadeen to carry out the missions. How did these Jihadists get to Israel? How did they overcome the Muslim aversion to Jews, what was the motive of non-Israeli's carrying out these assassinations? Isreal does not deny involvement nor do they admit it. I do not rule out Mossad, nor have I seen enough evidence to prove guilt. The whole story seems too convoluted. The Iranian investigators have not yet built a plausible narrative to explain. Israel is not Iran's only enemy in the region. There are other nations in the region, openly against Iran, swith a strong vested interest in halting the Iranian nuke program.
If Isreal ordered the assassinations then they are guilty of murder. If Israeli Massod trained the assassins, then they are accessories.
I agree that Iran needs to stop its program to obtain nuclear weapons, but, IF Israel is responsible, The assassinations need to cease. Israel understands the feeling of assassination well, (ie. the 1972 assassination of it's olympic athletes). These assassination will only bring about an escallation. IF Iran is building a nuclear bomb, they need to cease, otherwise there will be an escalation in the middle east. These deliberate attacks by Iran on soft targets in foriegn countries also need to cease or Iran will end up with more enemies.
Isreal was for terrorism before they were against it before they were for it before they were against it. It is ok for Isreal to use terrorists all over the world including Iran to kill anyone they deem an enemy to their racist, bigoted one religion state. If you believe it was Iranians and not zionist controlled mentally retarded people who did these bombings, you are either without logic, brainwashed or a zionist.
jabberwockyed ''zionist controlled mentally retarded people who did these bombings,'' and based on this do you believe anyone should take this post or anything else you post seriously? This is almost as funny as the Iranian that blew his legs off! Come on now do you really believe this jabberwockyed ?
HA HA HA! An insane Muslim Jihadist fanatic - the latest Darwin Natural Selection Lottery winner!
Life&liberty poser... In case you did not know a good number of the "suicide bombers" that invaded Isreal years ago when Isreal was licking their fangs for more land to steal from the Palastenian people, were mentally retarded. So ya, read a book or learn history it tends to repeat itself.
"look, you've got no legs left"
"its just a flesh wound"
I bet this guy would get a real "kick" out of Monty Python's movie now.
This story also lends credence to the "I'm rubber/ you're glue" theory of insults.
Hammerhead The US Government does the same exact things you're speaking of quite a bit.
40 virgins aint gunna do this moron any good with his junk blown off! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Yes, he blew off his own legs and he is an Iranian -his name is SAEID MORADI (his Iranian Passport on him) police found more explosives at the rented house he is sharing with 2 other foreigners. He traveled from southern Thai resort town of Phuket to Bangkok on February 8th (2012). In January a Swedish-Lebanese man belonging to Hizbollah was arrested (his warehouse loaded with explosive making material). For updated news go to http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4189434,00html
The caption states his legs were blown off after he was refused by a taxi. The article indicates he was probably making bombs in a house he was renting and there was a blast. Then the authorities tried to move in when he blew his legs off...whatever.
Ultimately, he was the only one very seriously hurt so it's a happy ending.
If he survives, do you think they will fit him with prosthesis or give him one of those little dollies to scoot around with?
This guy must have been a card carrying member of the gang that couldn't shoot straight. Bounced a bomb off a tree!!!!!! You gotta love it.
So one bomb went off in the house where he was living, and then a second bomb bounces off a tree and blows his legs off? And these are the people who are a threat to the world? I say take up a collection and send them all the bomb-making material they want.
sarcasticus1:
what article are you reading? it says he threw a bomb and it bounced off a tree. Or were you being sarcastic, its so hard to tell. You are just soooooo sarcastic I suppose. yeah.
Just imagine these idiots with nuclear bombs. Scary.
I noticed the same thing - what a poorly written article this was. He blew his leg off after being refused a taxi ride; but the motorcycle taxi driver pulled up after he had blown his leg off - yet he threw the bomb in front of the taxi driver's car and ran off (bet he couldn't run very well with his leg blown off). Then he attempted to throw another bomb at police; but it bounced off a tree and blew one leg off and injured the other - yet it also blew up before he was able to throw it. WTF? I see that the article is being updated - though the updates don't seem to make the article any clearer. Whatever the story turns out to be - it's serves him right.
stoopid:
I read the article through once, reread twice, gleaned a third time...couldn't make sense out it. Not sure if you and I read the same article or if you read the entire article. Though I'm sure the article will be updated. Yes, I'm sarcastic..."I was born this way." It's a tough life...aiming for disability.
denver bill:
Great post!
All bombs everywhere will be blamed on Iran until Obama gets his war.
Why - was there enough of him left to make a id? Was he draped in an Iranian Flag? It may have explained it further in the article, but I'm OLD and just get tired of reading this @!$%# every other day.
So much for the Iranians trying to take the high ground. "oh we are just peaceful little angels...let us develop our nukes in peace so we can bomb you later just like this idiot did"
Chris from Yucaipa,
Actually it is going to be the Iranians who are highly disappointed when they learn it was a misprint. Instead of Virgins, it's going to be 4.5 billion pissed of Virginians they meet up there.
ROTFLMAO
Instant karma is going to get you.
It's "break a leg" not blow ur leg off!
Sad that he probably got the best care possible by the same group of people he was intending on hurting.
They could of stood around him with sticks poking at his wounds. Infidels
This incident won't help foreign tourism in Thailand, which is a shame after all their recent political issues seem to have settled down.
Too bad the Thais can't get a handle on the terrorists who have infiltrated Bangkok like rats. Terrorists bribe the authorities to let them into the country and they ought to expect that things like this will happen.
They should mail pieces of this dude, bit by bit, back to the Ayatollah.
Mike-1304143, I don't think Obama wants a war. He ran for president saying he would bring an end to the wars & get our troops home. He said these wars were a failure of foreign policy under the Bush administration. If we ended up in another war, it would be political suicide.
I think (if it came down to it), Obama would do like Clinton & send in missiles to aid the point operation launched by Israel. An all-out war would not begin until AFTER the election - no matter the situation.
What did the dumbass make his bombs out of, boomerangs? Too funny, karma really does suck for this poor bastard!
Dude, the guy threw a bomb, and it hit a tree bouncing back at him, blowing his leg(s) off. HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THAT! Today is a good day. I wonder if the majority of Iranians are just as coordinated as this guy. Like, will Iran shoot off a Nuke-Tipped-Missle, and have it bounce of a low flying satelite and head right back towards Tehran? Hopefully so.
Why is it that the wild eyed fanatic groups use terrorism against random innocent civilians who have done nothing to them except exist? Why won't these freaks realize that random terrorism really doesn't work? Why won't they realize that it an exceptionally poor way to 'advance their cause'? Killing random civilians of supposed importance, an importance that is only seen by the terrorist only creates enmity against their 'cause'. At least the assassinations of the Iranian nuke scientists has a true purpose, a true reason, and is not random. I wish the freaks would quit thinking their self important goals are worth killing innocent people for!
WHAT IS GOING UNREPORTED IN THE MEDIA, American troops are pouring into the Islands off the coast near the straits of Hormuz, to date over 100 thousand men and equipment are being deployed, this administration is hell bent on getting us into world war 3, this information has been confirmed by many sources, who were supposed to be deployed back stateside, but are now being diverted, we folks are getting ready for a nuclear war in the middle east, and it will not stop there.
Wow...terrorist attack in Thailand...really? Really? WTF for?? Serving spicy food?
Makes no sense to me, but I'll bet China is sitting up and paying attention. Having an Iranian citizen throwing bombs around in their back yard will definately put Iran in some pretty big cross hairs.
Wonder who they're going to piss off next?
You would hope that if Iran shot a nuke at us or Israel that it would hit something and bounce back at them blowing themselves up.
China and Russia don't give ahoot... they are the biggest buyers of Iranian Oil.
A Messenger - The story I read said the guy had his Iranian passport on him when taken to the hospital. Hard to call this fact propaganda...
Israel has the capability to train people to build and deploy directional explosives from a moving motorcycle. Iran has the capability to blow themselves up. I think I know how this ends.
.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
Three bomb blasts, two Iranians. One guy threw a bomb at a taxi and later tossed a bomb at the police as they closed in on him. The bomb he threw at the police bounced off a tree and blew one or both of his legs off.
Ali Khamenei is an incompetent dictator and an incompetent murderer. Does he bathe in human blood?

Dang trees, always jumpin' out in front of cars............and now this!
(And you though you were having a bad day when the coffee was cold!)
May God bless Israel and help them in the fight against the enemy.
Won't it be spectacular when that baby bounces back and hit's Iran in their junk?
LMFAO Spartan 501... yes because terrorist are such logical sane individuals.......I'm figuring they'll get it sooner or later when they see it doesnt work...oops sorry i forgot ..their DEAD!!
Get out of your Utopian mentality and wake up!!! THEY ARE ONE JIHAD MISSION.....got a clue what that is or means????
Then come back and say something that shows you have an ounce of brains
Bounced off a tree? It must have been a Gharkad tree a tree of the Jews. In the Hamas Covenant it clearly says:
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hamas.asp
"Iran has denied it was responsible."
Well, that settles it. The Iranians would never lie, would they? Obviously, the '8,800 pounds of urea fertilizer and several gallons of liquid ammonium nitrate' was intended for 'peaceful purposes'.
lol

Is there a reason to post your recipe?
Seems to be pretty damming evidence when a passport is found on the bomber issued by Iran.. Far too many people get sucked in by propaganda and don't even know it.. The Arabs blame the west for everything that happens in their $hit holes.. Baby has a rash , well that has to be George Bush's fault.. Asam has an ingrown toe nail, well that has to be Ronald Reagan's fault.. The Ziwari family has diarrhea, it is surely Americas fault because the Koran says the infidels bring these plagues on the peace loving Muslims.. This is why all Zionists and infidels must die sayith Mohamed.. When the Persians sided with the Germans and taught Hitler that the Jew was the root of all evil and lost they reaped the rewards of the losers..
Stupid is as stupid does...
Amazing that Israel has the strength to systematically strike Iran inside their own country but Iran strikes like a common terrorist outside of Israel.
What a damn fool
Yep I can see the day in the not so far future.
Amadmanneedajob and Wackokahmeni are sitting on a grand stage. A gleaming Shahab-3 prepped for launch. Iranian scientists installing the brand new nuclear warhead. The grand leaders direct the crowd in a rousing ditty of "Death to America" and "Death to Israel". Finally the crowd is ready and the leaders poised to fulfill their promise to turn Israel into a crater. They press a button and the missile flies!
Straight up into the air, runs out of fuel, and slowly begins its inexorable fall into the crowd. For a moment the crowd laments, "Not again!", and then all of Teheran is winked out of existence.
Granted that depends on the bomb actually working...
Yea...right. A guy blows off his own legs with grenades. And they find Iranian passports. The US wants to invade Iran, just like they wanted to invade Iraq, and by the way have we ever found those WMDs? How accurate was that? How easily we buy into this stuff. How much oil does Iran have?
hahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAahahahahahahahahahahah that is fantastic. I hope nobody helped him and he was forced to crawl back to Iran. Oh wow this just really made my day. Today is gonna be a darn good day.
Now that's what I call fast KARMA..he never got a chance to kill someone.
When do they pick this year's Darwin Awards?
Allah is taking sides.
Ive been waiting for Iran to blow themselves up, I guess this will have to do for now.
Stupid is as stupid does, I laughed MAO when I read about this Holly warrior. Talk about a confused lamo.
He put his left leg in. He put his left leg out. He put his left leg in then he blew it all about. He did the hokey pokey and he turned himself around. That's what it's all about.
The Iranian Terrorist Leader did not get a smart "one" this time. Blowing off his own legs--called "Reverse Terrorism".
Now, if the Government of Iran would all become this kind of Terrorist, the world would be safer.
Ahdinemajad. Paybacks to Countries who have intervened in the shutting down of Iran's Nuclear Plants, and research--Who's next?
A small approach by Iran to a much larger problem--the Sanctions are working. The poor citizens are the ones who suffer. Food and other goods have doubled in price in the last year.
Watch our Oil prices too, for payback--they will jump to the higher than $4.00 per gallon for our cars and homes.---That is called, "Reverse Sanctions on the US".
Bomber was unable to run from the scene !!!! LOL...
jabberwockyed, don't make personal attacks. You are only a day off of a suspension.
You are suspended for a week for violating rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.
Gillanator Iraq used wmd's against there own people. We know that. It's a fact. So just because we could'nt find them does'nt mean they did'nt exist. Your right though people like you do buy into every piece of nonsense that comes down the pike. Do your own research and you might learn something. And for the record this happened in Tailand, What does it have to do with the U.S.?
What amazes me is if we made a fighting video game, like Street Fighter, but the characters you pick are all the Divine beings of the various religions, people would be all offended. And yet, nobody would be killed.
Yet here we are with people throwing bombs in the name of a mythological book, and really hurting themselves and others. Exactly what is not offensive about that?
I'm going to start referring to the Middle East in video game terms. Jewish God blocks Muslim God's attack! SHO RYU KEN! Catholic God up next!
@Joe madden,
Yeah, as if you can't find it on the Web in 30 seconds??
A lot of Anti-Semites on this post.
Why are they not deleted. Very Offensive. This is Freedom of Speech and an intelligent post? Hatred and Bigotry are acceptable under the NCOH--please we have enough trouble in the world, without these uneducated, inhumane people. The Terrorists would love to have them join the March on Destruction.
Most posters are banned for less, than being a true Jew Hater.
This nefarious Persian must have attended the "Larry, Curly and Moe" school of terrorism. I especially liked the part where he threw the grenade having it only to "bounce back" and blow his own legs off! That's rich!
Now the terrorist has to go to the DMV to get his license changed from 6 foot to 4 ft.
Leb-386905, that's hilarious. I like the names Thongsong and fukit.
Ok, I admit I choked on some tea reading that. Well played sir.

Tell that to the Zionists that carried out a terrorist campaign against the British, that led to them pulling out of Palestine. Google the King David hotel bombing for an example. Islamic terrorist organizations learned most of their tactics from the Zionist terrorist organizations
This guy sounds like the suicide bomber teaching jihadists the fine art of his trade. He was giving them a demonstration and was last heard to have told them........Now watch this REAL closely, I can only show you how to do it ONCE.
This doesnt make any since!!! Normaly a terrorist would blow himself and others to die not to survive from it, why stripe a bomb in his leg? normaly a bomb goes in your body so there is no going back! I think this could be a set up by some evil agencies, who knows if Israel did it to make the Iraninans look bad or whomever did it to make them look bad! I dont believe this story is true.
It's bad enough he lost his legs...but now the whole world knows he throws bombs like a girl.
Rob-1699252
Iraq used chemical weapons against the Kurds in the 1980s, the American Invasion of Iraq was in 2003. During the 90s the United Nations inspection teams found and destroyed large amounts of Iraqi Chemical weapons. Afterward it was reported that no stockpiles could be found. Which is why the UN couldn't authorize the invasion. Bush ignored it. That is why the WMDs could never be found. Sure they DID exist, but not at the time of the invasion.
I have done much research and any time you want to match up on knowledge of this you just let me know. The US has done this before. As a matter of fact the CIA caused a coup d'etat in Iran, overthrowing a democratically elected Prime Minister, because Iran was going to nationalize their oil industry. WTF??? It's their oil. The people of Iraq elected the guy. He said he was going to do this and they elected him knowing it. What business is it of ours? And now we have been trying to pick a fight with Iran so we can do the same thing we did in Iraq. A war started by lies. Just like Vietnam. So maybe you might want to do a little research before you come back with a canned response.
Those Muslims are enough to make Allah convert to Christianity.
Once he threw the bang, he knew he was in trouble because he remembered he left his boomerang in the bag!
According to the Bangkok Post, Thailand dtd 15th Feb...
Saeid Moradi, the person that was throwing the grenades, his Iran passport was found at the first explosion site...
The FIRST grenade was thrown, when a passing TAXI would not pick-up the blood covered Saeid. Following the first explosion at their rented residence...
The SECOND grenade was thrown at approaching POLICE, but bounced off-of a passing PU-truck, and then landed back at his feet...
One of the two other suspects was detained, as he was trying to fly back to Malaysia on Air Asia. He is currently being questioned by the Thai POLICE...
A THIRD suspect is currently being sought by authorities...
BTY - The local & BKK TV stations broadcast the legless bomber as he lay next to the street. NO-ONE was in any hurry to give him any assistance... Ha! Ha!
I agree. It does sound fishy, Out of all the attacks, no one really got hurt. (thankfully) but it does sound like an inside job, This isn't the first time Israel has done such operations.

Unfortunately, Darwin doesn't apply in this case unless he lost his short leg in addition to the long one. Or two of his other naughty bits.

Hey Doc, while your cleaning up the wound, how about doing a little bobbit and neuter alteration. But before that get a little DNA and trace his tribe down so we can cleanse the earth of his bad seed.

Right on Maximus.
Deadly attacks on Iranian nuclear scientists are being carried out by an Iranian dissident group that is financed, trained and armed by Israel’s secret service, U.S. officials tell NBC News, confirming charges leveled by Iran’s leaders.
The group, the People’s Mujahedin of Iran, has long been designated as a terrorist group by the United States, accused of killing American servicemen and contractors in the 1970s and supporting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran before breaking with the Iranian mullahs in 1980.
The attacks, which have killed five Iranian nuclear scientists since 2007 and may have destroyed a missile research and development site, have been carried out in dramatic fashion, with motorcycle-borne assailants often attaching small magnetic bombs to the exterior of the victims’ cars.
My bet is that it is if these are Iranians, they belong to this group known as the MEK. They are trained by Israeli intelligence and anxious to blame terror attacks on Iran. They want to be the new rulers of Iran.
This group has sponsored talks by former members of the Bush team and luminaries such as Howard Dean and Rudi Giuliani, who are trying to get them off the list of terrorists. They are paying big money for full page ads in the NY Times. Where are they getting their money? My guess is Israel.
This was most likely going to be a false flag attack, perpetrated by the MEK.
..and will see if this Iranian one leg men make it through to tell his side of the story! not sure if he will make it to tell the truth nor unless they beat him to tell what they want him to tell!
Fairly happy ending here.
I wouldnt call it happy ending! if he took his life then yes to happy ending!
This doesnt make any since!!! Normaly a terrorist would blow himself and others to die not to survive from it, why stripe a bomb in his leg? normaly a bomb goes in your body so there is no going back! I think this could be a set up by some evil spy agencies, who knows if Israel did it to make the Iraninans look bad or whomever did it to make them look bad! I dont believe this story is true.
Israelis are the best fabricating stories to make a real case for their own interest but fake at the same time! only God knows what goes on in their spy base.
Max, you can say that again!!!
...and again....and again.
They didnt reside in the middle east for nothing! they have a goal to achieve and nothing gets in their way! only God can...
Lostflorida : I think you are lost, do you need help?
Nah, I'm just trying to make "since" of your ramblings.
Maybe I should just "stripe a bomb in my leg" so I don't have to read any more of your postings.
Lost florida : you made me laugh.. I think you do need help, I care about your leg.. how can you swim with one leg? please dont do anything stupid! I can stop posting so you dont have to do anything crazy and blame it on me. That s not fair dont yoiu think?
My leg thanks you and wishes you well. :)
Maxeemas, I think YOU are a set-up to make anti-Israel kooks look stupid and bad. Oh--wait--they already do. Way to go.
I always loved trees. Now I have one more reason to love them.
O. K. Spartan, ......tell that to the governments, specially ours.............
idiot got what he had coming
you could say that about people that are not wanted wherever they go in the world time after time. They probably only got was they had coming to them. When a race of people (Jews) are taught they are superior to everyone else and should not associate with the lesser humans by their political doctrines, they tend to get baked in ovens and shot in the back of the head, etc.. Its just a historical fact.
The FBI should probably be keeping an eye on you if they aren't already.
Yes because freedom of speech.. Its a travesty to our new way of life here cowtowing to the racist zionist.
jabber, you have no room to talk about other people's bigotry.
By the way, is bigotry a personal trait, or is it something that belongs corporately to an entire ethnic group?
World War II is over. Your guys lost. We really don't need a resurgence of that awful philosophy to take root here. 50 million dead is plenty.
Stop the hate!
Dude you got some serious issues if you think talking like that about baked in ovens as a joke is ok. Im an american with mostly german heritage and im ashamed of German history of what they did. Shame on you for the comments of that nature. Its a sick world out there and i hope my kids dont get to see that kind of stuff in the future. Taking another life for any reason other then defending you or your families lives is wrong and until people start realizing that we will continue to have problems like this in the future. My job as a parent is to teach my kids these values i speak of. Stand up for yourself but also show compassion to those less fortunate.
Commonsense, you are right I am falling to the level of the jews who say all muslims should be wiped off the earth. you are right, I was wrong. However I detest Nazis as much as I detest Isreal for putting women on the back of the bus, for stoning Palestenian children for trying to walk to school, for banning everything from chocolate to clean drinking water in Palestine. I would gladly have fought for the Jews in concentration camps in Nazi Germany and I will gladly speak for the Palestenians in concentration camps in Nazi Israel who have no voice. I will try to find a better way to voice their concerns and try my best to not become the bitter angry bigot that many who support Israels war crimes have become.
I think you need to deprogrammed jabber...
Jabber, If you are from the U.S. go to the middle east, tell them you are american and that you hate the jews. They will kill you for being an american. You are blamed for what our government has done even if you dont agree with what our government has done....is it wrong of them to judge you? yes, but yet you blame all jews for what their goverment does or doesnt do. I have no idea what or who does what over there but im not going to blame the innocent for the actions of their government. It seems to me thats exactly what you are doing. Put yourself in their shoes would you want to be crusified for the actions of your governement. I should think not. We all bleed red jabber and if your parents were jewish you would have a totally different aspect of this whole conversation. What happened to that astronaut is sad as is what happened to ours as well. Christians, jews, muslums are human beings. The only thing that seperates us is religion and the hate that stems with it. I do know that god (every religion) doesnt condone hate infact he preaches love and kindness. So it doesnt make a difference which religion you follow, its the the hate that is woven in our religions that is wrong. I havent been to church for 30 years so i dont practice my faith but i do believe in god and i know this hatred for other races and religion is wrong. So remember when your time comes you'll have to answer for your actions. If I were you i would be asking for gods forgiveness for all the cruel things you've said in these posts. Yes freedom of speach allows you to say these things without worry of persecution but it isnt legal in the highest court of all. I really hope you do some serious soul searching jabber and find an outlet for all your hared cause it will consume you and ruin your life. just my advise take it or leave it your choice
@Jabberwockeyed. you need to reboot. how do you spend your time when your not making a fool of yourself? are you the guy that burns GI Joes dressed as Jews in your easybake oven while you play with yourself?
@jabberwockyed - you are seriously in need of some education son. You have a way of overlaying in your hate onto others you do not know. The article is about an iranian dope (your friend maybe) that blew himself up and tried killing coppers. Perhaps you should experience some of the hate yourself and retreat to iran and live there and exclaim your disdain for America and see what develops. As far as Israel and the palestinians are concerned (you seemed to be pre-occupied with this area) I submit to you an assignment to find and report on 5 industries that the palestianians, heck, arabs, have developed. Oil does not count as the west educated/installed/configured/executed all the oil extraction and processing. So what industries? What advancemenst? And terrorism, murder and mayhem don't count either. No go and report.
If Jabber is going to put down terrorists and only mentions Zionists that is being prejudiced, you have to mention the Zionists AND the Jihadists. How about putting a stop to ALL terrorism?
Those darn Iranians! All they want to do is to destroy Israel. Funny how these reports of Israel being "attacked" have profoundly increased in media publication since our withdraw from Iraq. Poor Israel; They seem to be the VICTUMS of hatred by ALL
Awww, poor Israel, poor little victims. Isn't it just awful? Ever since they invented that omnipotent god and started pretending he chose them over all other humans to love and protect they just can't get any love from anyone else!
Poor things, that voice in their heads, I mean Yahweh, I know he told them to go ahead and steal the land of Canaan and slaughter every Canaanite man, woman and child, but at least he let them keep the young virgin girls alive for themselves... it's all there in that completely fictional chapter (Exodus) of that mostly fictional book... you know the one.
Anyway the poor dears just haven't a friend since then and it got even worse when Yaweh's son went nuts and claimed the whole human race was his own personal flock of sheep, well you know it's hard out there for a wandering shepherd who just wants a nation of his own.
I mean anyone could understand a lonely shepherd being willing to slit his own son's throat for a promised land, right? You would kill your kid for some land wouldn't you? Doesn't make you a bad person right? No, no loyalty's a good thing! See? What's not to like? Mazel Tov!
they probably slit their own f@#$ing throats! Dude probly flits around like some kind of fairy and is muslim to boot
There are two important points to be learned from that story.
One is that you should not kill your children.
Your lack of understanding on your own chosen topic is amazing. Regardless of your position or point of view, the lack of scholarly insight is deplorable.
FYI
Zoroastrianism was the first monotheistic religion, believed to have been founded in southern Russia around 1700-2000 BCE.
Akhenaten, pharaoh of Egypt from about 1353 to 1336 BCE, also introduced a monotheistic religion, but it did not last beyond his death.
Monotheistic Judaism was introduced by King Josiah of Judah during the seventh century BCE.

dadel banned. Failed audition.
Sally,
Thanks, saved me the trouble of dealing with Dadel. JAK should be banned too.
JAK,
You should thank your imaginary friend every day for the anomimity of the internet, which allows thumb sucking amatures to hide behind insults when they have no backbone for the topic under discussion.
I post under my real name and photo. I don't hide behind an avatar or an acronym. I am not a fairy or a Muslim although if I were either or both, that would be OK and better than having balls this big (..), like a thumb sucking amature.
Common Sense,
An old African proverb says: "I pointed at the moon and all you saw was my finger."
Why don't you look beyond the finger of whoever the lame assed Pastor was who indoctrinated you as to the true meaning of the Bible and instead of sucking his spoon, just READ WHAT IT SAYS for yourself.
I don't need you to tell me what the Bible means. I am secure in my scholarship. I understand primitive mythology perfectly well. The behavior of characters like Lot, Abraham, Jephthah, Elisha and Yahweh is what I find deplorable.
It takes a high degree of cognitive dissonance to admire a man who is willing to kill and burn his own child for some promised reward. The same mental process was in full evidence on 9/11/01... and yesterday in Thailand.
You bleated about two points to be learned from human sacrifice, but you only illuminated us as to one of them... Why don't you amaze us all with your accumen and tell us what the other salient point might be.
jaytmoon,
Very impressive... Wikipedia? Wow! However, I never said word one about Monotheism. I referenced the, "omnipotent god they invented." Surely the Israelites invented their own god... however much they borrowed from or were influenced by surrounding cultures.
They were certainly the first to claim their god promised them land that belonged to someone else and ordered them to kill all the natives and take it from them. Google that!
Instant Karma
Exactly what I thought when they had to cancel the big "we got a guy in space" parade in zionist land when their astronaut got baked in re-entry from space. Instant Karma.
jabbernut--are you making fun of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster? Six others died in that tragedy. You are a disgrace.
Was there another zionist astronaut that got melted in re-entry??
jabberblabber, you really should be banned from Newsvine if all you can do is spout bigotry and revel in the death of any member of your chosen 'people to hate'.
You need to talk to Dr Phil jabber.... and I hope your mother takes your computer away
I think we have a troll trying to get a rise out of people
Troy, I'm amazed it took so long to figure jabberwackyed out. And so many people fell for the trolling. LOL
Lol true.....im a slow learner
That bomber doesn't have a leg to stand on.
Based on the accuracy of this nitwit the Iranian people should be very worried about any of their countrymen handling uranium or any other radioactive material? These Islamists are really a plague on humanity,imagine this muslim boarded an airliner and flew to Thailand to throw a bomb at the Israeli embassy,unable to do so he threw it at Thai policemen? And this is exactly why I would place every foreign muslim on a no fly list they are too dangerous and unpredictable to allow into our country.
@Life....
I don't think all Islamists are a plague on society. There have been Christians, and others from other religions(Ghengiis Khan, Greek emperors (whatever religion they followed) that have committed the same atrocities.
Just sayin.... not all who follow Islam are rotten.
Any extremist from any religion or country is just that, an extremist = (nut job) There would be a lot less death in this world if there wasn't organized religion.
There would be a lot less death in this world if there wasn't organized religion.
That's far from evident. There are a lot of hospitals and other organizations run by religious groups that do much to save lives and reduce deaths. Think about Red Cross and Catholic Charities, and go from there.
And there are a lot of religious leaders advocating for PEACE not war. How many Tibetan lives has the Dalai Lama saved by his peaceful response to communist invasion and subjugation of hthe is homeland?
I haven't read one word that indicates this guy was definately Iranian or an Islamist. Being suspected of being an Iranian means nothing. Also, if the guy was an agent from Iran, I hardly think he would be carrying his Iranian passport around with him. It would seem that a real agent from Iran would have fake passports. This story is just too easy. Let us use a little common sense, before jumping to conclusions.
Passports can be planted. On 9/11, passports of at least 3 of the alleged hi jacker's passports were found. There was one near the World Trade Centers, which magically leapt out of the plane as it hit the tower in a ball of flame, fell to the ground and was picked up and handed to a policeman by a man in a suit.
Wow, what a stroke of luck!
Then there were 2 more passports of hi jackers found in the Pennsylvania field, which magically survived that crash, even though there was no trace of the plane in the same field.
Wow, another incredible stroke of luck. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true.
Anyone that has been to Thailand will tell you. Don't mess with the thai police. I've been there. It was in the 70's but I've heard that it hasn't changed politically all that much. I have a friend who has lived there for over 30 years. He loves it there. If the Hezbollah starts throwing bombs there they will get screwed pretty fast. Thailand will hunt them down and take them out the back door and put a bullet in their skulls. Don't make the mistake of thinking that they are just puppets of the US. The Thai people have a proud and ancient society. To quote Al Capone, "If someone messes with me, I'll mess with them back". These fools are treading on thin ice in Thailand. I hope that they keep acting this stupid. It won't last long.
"Iran and Hezbollah are unrelenting terror elements endangering the stability of the region, and endangering the stability of the world,'' said Barak, who spent a few hours in Bangkok on Sunday.
Perhaps Barak was in Bangkok, helping to set off a false flag attack and it all went kaboom. These Iranians, if they are indeed Iranians, could very well be a part of that terrorist group, which Israel has been working with to assassinate Iranian scientists. The likelyhood is very strong. As I said in a previous post, Iranian agents would have false passports and would not be so stupid as to blow themselves up.
The motto of the Mossad is "By Way of Deception".
He HAS to be an Iranian,dummies....because thats where we need to have our next war.
John in PA apparently you can't read very well. They found the guys passport he is in fact an Iranian. Don't let your liberal sickness stop you from obtaining some more facts before you sound off. At least try to be intelligent. It will make you more believable.
Rare and somewhat twisted that we can all read an article about a man's legs being blown off and smile. Yet ... I am as guilty as any. That was pretty funny.
Thats the same thing I was thinking when the zionist astronaut was melted to death in re-entry on our shuttle. I think they found part of him in Texas. They had a big parade planned for him over in zionist country. lol... quite a chuckle.
It's not funny that the Iranian agent blew off his own legs, though there is a certain irony to it, since he was trying to commit murder at the time. No one except a petty, pseudo-religious dictator in Iran would have benefitted had the murderer succeeded, but we can still regret the senseless loss.
There's nothing funny about an Israeli astronaut or his American companions tragically losing their lives while trying to advance the causes of science, space exploration, and technological achievment. All mankind lost something special with their deaths.
Jabberwockyed - your comments are just demented and evil. The astronaut wasn't trying to hurt anyone. Commonsense is quite accurate. Simply being Israeli or Iranian (or Jewish, Muslim, or Christian for that matter) does not make someone a bad person. Randomly chucking grenades at police officers is pretty vile, though. It's clear this "gentleman" was up to no good. I judge people as individuals. I have nothing against the Iranian people and wish them free of their oppressive regime. Somehow, I think you differ and probably hate all Israelis and probably all Jews, as well, without any exception.
Who cares If he blew up, big deal.
Same thing I thought when the people who routinely use tanks and attack helicopters to shoot unarmed civilians and then get blown up by a suicide bomber. Big deal. They have it coming.
Loss of any life is a big deal. Regardless of religion, race, or political belief.
It is unfortunate that so many form opinions base on a few of the facts and then refuse to open their eyes when the rest of the facts become known.
We use tanks and helicopters in acts of war to defend our country. Plain and simple. That is not terrorism, it is war. The fact that the US strives to minimize collateral damage often handicaps our troops and increases the risk to our own but because loss of life is a big deal we choose to conduct our wars in this manner.
Like it or not the people of Iraq are free from a terrible ruler. Did he have weapons of mass destruction? Who cares? He slaughtered his own people with chemical weapons, which are weapons of mass distruciton. Oppression was the way of life there. This evil man needed to be dealt with and we did just that.
Thank God our Government at the time was willing to do what needed to be done. And don't think for a minute that he wouldn't have used those same type of weapons on us the first opportunity he had.
By removing the Iraqi despot we only destablized the whole region this was about the most stupid move our government has ever made.Now more lives are being lost than not because of a shortsighted decision.
Sometimes in life we have to take the lesser of two 3evils this was one of those and a poor decisin backfired if you look at a map of the Middle East you will see that on one side there is Afgahnistan and the other Iraq and in the midddle is Iran yrt we do all the work and they have more sway in both countries.
So do the math for yourself did we get enything positive from this no we didn'i.
I agree, it is a big deal. A big reason we have allowed our elected officials to run rampant and against most of what this country was founded on is our lack of morality, ethics, compassion, and value of human life.
Unless we change our thinking and embrace love, America will continue in this downward spiral towards internal destruction. Because there are only 2 basic emotions, fear and love, and from a good number of posts here there are a large amount of people with fear in their hearts. Think it's not happening ? Learn your history, not His Story, history. All the great civilizations that fell were mainly due to over expansion of military power and over spending. Sound familiar ?
Loss of life IS a big deal. Does the phony dictator in Iran consider himself liable for the man's loss of limb? For the lives of the innocent people he called to have murdered?
You can celebrate the failure of the murderer's mission, but becoming jaded to the sanctity of human life does NOT make the world a better place.
Oh that is so funny. That should be on America's Funniest Home Video's.
Wow...a feel-good story on MSNBC...that's amazing!
Exactly what I thought when the racist zionist got melted on re-entry to the earths atmosphere on the shuttle. Amazing. I guess he really wasn't one of gods chosen ones like he liked to believe.
My GOSH, give it a REST already.
Damn... hes not eligible for the darwin award... Hilarious.. Karma...
Iran is not stupid, they would never have done this. This is fabricated political spin by us.
Not so- he is an Iranian- his name is SAEID MORADI (Iranian passport on him) renting a house with 2 other foreigners- more explosives found there. Stupidity is in the selection of fanatical nihilists.
This Iranian who blew himself up was probably just working on his own meaning the Iranian government had nothing to do with it. Just like that blowhard drunken Iranian car salesman this Iranian too was just an idiot.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Kevin Iran is not stupid. Do the cost analysis. Afew idiots,some light equipment, and plausable deniability. Oh we didn't do this. It must have been some radical. We would never sponsor something like that. RIGHT!!!
Look, US intelligence has reported that Iranian proxy Hezbollah has cells operating in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, South America and North America. Iran has a long record of using terrorism as an important instrument of foreign policy in order to advance national goals and to export Islamic revolutionary ideals.
Mimi - Brian Williams just did an expose about how Israel was working with known terrorists in Iran, who were the ones assassinating scientists. These assasination attempts in Thailand are most probably that Iranian group working for Israel.
The Israelis probably caused the explosion of the house, in order to make sure those dumb MEK terrorists would be blamed as Iranians. That is how the Mossad works. This is a form of false flag attack to pin on Iran. No Iranian agent would be using their own Iranian passports. Furthermore, of what interest would Iran have in Thailand?
I bet Thailand won't be spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to fit him with artificial legs and physical therapy like the USA would do.
I'm sure his fellow Thai prisoners will give him a funny nickname in prison, due to his missing limbs. What a loser.
You're wrong. If convicted he'll not last long at all. Since he's guilty as charged why waste the resources.
Great news to start the day.
LMFAO
No virgin for you .
This reporter needs to learn the difference between "lie" and "lay". Come to think of it, so does everyone who contributed and didn't correct it.
I'm glad the story had a happy ending. But to stop these world wide terrorist attacks by agents of the radical Islamic dictatorship in Iran is going to take more than wishful thinking. Thailand, as well as the other nations whose terroritory has been violated by the Iranian regime, should break off relations with Iran and expel their "diplomats." The mullahs are waging a war of aggression, not just against Israel and the Jewish people, but against the civilized world. Let's not appease the mullahs the way the civilized nations attempted to appease Hitler.
And the USA should break of ties to Isreal for using terrorists in Iran, a non racist country.
For being a Jew hater you should at least know how to spell Israel.
Israel used Fake British passports to enter Dubia and kill palestinians.They terrorized Iran many times, they use terrorists to murder scientists and their families..etc
I dont hate jews just the racist ones in Israel where it is ok for them to use terrorists but not anybody else because god told them.
Jabberwoked,
Your blabber is getting tiresome. We understand you hate Isreal because you have an inferiority complex. Get over it and go back into your trailer your crawled out of.
hes a troll just ignore him
All that and he doesn't get the 72 virgins?
72 virgins?. Smoking that tumbleweed isn't good for your brain.
I have said this once and I'll say it again, 'What did these 72 virgins do to deserve these scumbag terrorists?'
No one said they would be female virgins.
Jeff Dunham will get another charactor now to go with achmed.
Those virgins will turn out to be goats, haha.
This just proves my point. These terrorists are brainwashed to believe what they are doing is right. The crinkly old men who do this are just in it for the power. It has nothing to do with religion. Just power. And in reality, only the weak-minded fall for this. And, as most of us know, the weak-minded just aren't too bright. Too bad others were hurt/killed.
The ironic part is, If he dies, I wonder what he'll do with the 77 virgins now that his pecker was blown off...
Iran no its not you, the Iranians accusing Isreal of bombing its own embassies(no that is almost laughable), and now Iranians bombings in Thailand... they must think we are idiots...
Why not, I do. You obviously slept through history class.
Jabber History class is a bunch of BS. "His" "Story" not the "True" "Story". Anyway I get your point it would the be the first time a Government blew up buldings in it's own Country with people in it or even vessels for that matter. (Cough) 911, Gulf of Tonkin
sheeple and koolaid you guys deserve each other
