Iran accuses Israel of blowing up tourist bus at Bulgaria airport

Burgas airport security cameras caught the alleged terrorist wandering around a terminal minutes before he boarded a bus filled with tourists and allegedly blew himself up. Police are now trying to identify who he was with the help of DNA analysis. NBC's Martin Fletcher reports.

UNITED NATIONS - Iran's U.N. envoy accused Israel on Wednesday of plotting and carrying out a suicide bomb attack on a bus in Bulgaria a week ago in which five Israeli tourists were killed.

A suicide bomber blew up the bus in a car park at Burgas airport, a popular gateway for tourists visiting Bulgaria's Black Sea coast, killing himself, the Israeli tourists and the Bulgarian bus driver and wounding more than 30 people.

Israel has accused Iran and the Lebanese Islamist group Hezbollah of the bombing. Iran has denied the accusations.


"It's amazing that just a few minutes after the terrorist attack, Israeli officials announced that Iran was behind it," Iran's U.N. Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee told a U.N. Security Council debate on the Middle East. "We have never and will not engage in such a despicable attempt on ... innocent people."

Bulgaria official: Suspected suicide bomber carried fake Michigan license

"Such terrorist operation could only be planned and carried out by the same regime whose short history is full of state terrorism operations and assassinations aimed implicating others for narrow political gains," Khazaee said. "I could provide ... many examples showing that this regime killed its own citizens and innocent Jewish people during the last couple of decades.

Israel's U.N. Ambassador Haim Waxman said Iran's fingerprints were all over the bomb attack in Bulgaria, as well as dozens of other plots in recent months around the world.

"These comments are appalling, but not surprising from the same government that says the 9/11 attack was a conspiracy theory and denies the Holocaust," Waxman said in a statement.

The Associated Press reported that Waxman also blamed Iran and Hezbollah for terrorist attacks and attempted attacks in recent months in India, Azerbaijan, Thailand, Kenya, Turkey and Cyprus that targeted Israelis.

As 150 Israeli tourists boarded buses to go to their hotels, a massive explosion killed at least six. Police don't yet have any answers, and nobody has claimed responsibility. NBC's Martin Fletcher reports.

Israel accuses Iran of developing atomic weapons and has repeatedly hinted it is prepared to strike Iranian nuclear targets if Tehran does not curb its suspect program. Iran denies it is trying to develop nuclear weapons and says its nuclear program is designed to produce nuclear energy.

'Exceptionally skilled'
Some analysts believe Iran is trying to avenge the assassinations of several scientists involved in its controversial nuclear program that it blames on Israel and the United States. Israeli diplomats have been targeted in several countries in recent months by bombers who the Jewish state maintained had struck on behalf of Tehran.

"The time has come for the world to put an end to this campaign of terror, once and for all," Waxman said.

Bulgaria's Prime Minister Boiko Borisov said Tuesday that a sophisticated group of conspirators was involved in the bombing. He did not give any numbers or nationalities of those believed to be responsible but described them as "exceptionally skilled" and said they "observed absolute secrecy."

That spokesperson is right, Israel threw the accusation without knowing who it was, purely to make Iran look bad and make it easier to attack them.

For all we know, maybe it was Iran, but at the time Israel accused Iran, it was impossible to know who did it.

No doubt. Too bad the Iranians do not have the will power to over through their Government, there is no way many people would back them if a standoff like in Syria happened. Every action they take gets more sanctions slapped on them. Soon buying food in Iran is going to cost as much as filling up a hummer here in the States.

That coupled with massive poverty and bleak outlooks is what set off Egypt, I can only hope the citizens of Iran will be so bold.

I wouldn't presume to know if Israel had proof of Iran's involvement at the time the accusation was made. However, it certainly would not surprise me.

Israel's intelligence entities are considered to be the best and the most successful and productive in the world. I think it can be taken for granted that it's network of operatives inside Iran is vast, and involves many Iranians in every aspect and agency of Iranian society. Iranian citizens who have concluded after 33 years of living in a totalitarian theocracy that the only way that Iranians will be able to dispose of their repressive government is with the help of outside forces such as Israel the US and NATO largely eliminating that government in response to Iran's intransigence about their nuclear weapons program.

So I think it's very possible indeed that Israel knew from its Iranian operatives that a suicide bomber or bombers had been dispatched to attack Israeli citizens; possibly even knew to where they were sent.

Lavon Affair, USS Liberty, the 'tennis players' in Dubai...it's not like it has not happened before. I cannot see what Iran would get out of attacking tourists but only to play into Israel's hands for the world to attack Iran and to allow Israel, which has no support in Israel for the war, to rally the masses behind the current government,

"The Lavon Affair refers to a failed Israeli covert operation, code named Operation Susannah, conducted in Egypt in the Summer of 1954. As part of the false flag operation,[1] a group of Egyptian Jews were recruited by Israeli military intelligence for plans to plant bombs inside Egyptian, American and British-owned targets. The attacks were to be blamed on the Muslim Brotherhood, Egyptian Communists, "unspecified malcontents" or "local nationalists" with the aim of creating a climate of sufficient violence and instability to induce the British government to retain its occupying troops in Egypt's Suez Canal zone." - Wikipedia

Key word above is failed. Had it not failed, we all might believe today that it was one of the groups above that carried it out. I am sure there have been many successful operations since.

From certain unconfirmed (by who, I don't know) reports, some survivors of the bus attack said the bomber shouted something in favor of iran or hezbollah, before detonating his bomb. I would guess that is where the suspicion of irans involvement to the bus bombing is coming from. You just won't hear that on U.S. news reports because we are actually getting our news censored as to not upset others.

"That was one dumb joke. Absolutely nothing funny about it retard. Go look up pics and info on the holocaust and see if anything in there is funny."

I'm with you, 'car56.' My Dad was in the US Army Infantry in WW2, and his Company in the 2nd Infantry Division 'liberated' one of the camps of the Terezin (Theresienstadt) Concentration Camp network in Czechoslovakia. What he saw there was so horrific that he suffered periodic night terrors for the following 52 years until his death. This was a man who landed on Omaha Beach and fought in the Battle of the Bulge; but it was Terezin that haunted him the rest of his life.

I don't see anything worthy of jokes and sarcasm concerning the Holocaust.

Not impossible. The intelligence services of most nations have some inkling of what plots are in the wind.

Am I sure that it was the Iranians behind this suicide attack? No, and it is not utterly impossible that the Israelis engineered such an attack against its own citizens, not because the Israelis are more cynical and brutal than any other nation in the world, but because there no innocent parties in the terrorist game, especially in the Middle East.

But, were I placing a bet in Vegas, my money would be on the Iranians as the organizers of this attack. They have reason to be angry with Israel over recent terrorist actions on their own soil, and conversely, the Israeli's have never needed much of an excuse to carry out any military strike if they strongly feel it is in their interests. If they wanted to, and felt capable of it, they would attack Iran tomorrow, and say the hell with world opinion.

I understand when people criticise Israel...Israel is not perfect and certainly the critiscm helps to keep Israel in line. But when you make such ridiculous, stupid accusations against Israel, you are flaunting your bias and inability to think objectively about the Middle East. That makes it hard to take any other statement you make seriously.

And of course Iran was ultimately behind the attacks. They basically provide the funding for all sophisticated terror groups that target Israel. Hizbollah and Hamas are its proxies.

Of course Israel could use America's help in attacking Iran. But don't think for a second that Israel can't do it themselves, and won't do it, should Iran get close enough to developing a nuclear bomb.

In fact, it's quite the opposite. Israel wants to strike Iran, and Obama is holding them up..Obama doesn't want that type of conflict before the election. Had Bush or even Clinton been in office still, Israel likely would have struck Iran already.

I'll say this. The talking head in Iran usually has nothing but BS oozing out of his mouth but the Israelis are also not the most straightforward and honest group either. I don't (pause) think the Israelis did it, however I would not put it past them. History has already shown they will put what they think is their countries best interest before anything else and that includes their own citizens if it comes down to it (though the US does that to). Looking at the whole situation the Israelis have alot more to benefit from this than Iran. Though I would imagine there are those on both sides that a tired of the idiots running things and would like it to just stop already. The amount of time and energy spent hating that could be used on more productive things for both countries is just sickening. The root of all this are those that have hijacked and use religion as their reasoning to do the evil things they do (this is for all the main religions). Not calling religion all bad, there are good traits to it, but its sad to see how those good traits and original intents are overshadowed or pushed aside and how it has been corrupted and turned into a tool to do bad. That's why I fear this will never get any better over there, to much focus on benefiting one group rather than trying to solve the situation in a way that is good for all. Sad Sad.

This story about Israel being behind the attack is about as believable as the ayatollah is really a Catholic nun in drag.This is an attack on Bulgaria as well.And Bulgaria is a member of the EU.These charges by Iran are just one more nail in the coffin of Iran.I hope when the time to attack Iran comes,the EU remembers this attack on one of its members.And in other EU countries.Recently Cyprus fortunately detained a Lebanese Mulsim before he could carry out a similiar attack.Cyprus is also a member of the EU.The victims of terrorists attacks by Iran are too many to mention.So are the vicitims of their BIG LIES.Even though Interpol has an immediate arrest and detain order against the Iranian minister of defense for the planning of two bombings in Buenas Aires,Iran is still trying to blame Argentina for staging it.Bulgaria is not as soft as Argentina.Close the Iranian embassy there would be the right response if Iranian invilvement is proved.Meanwhile this will just make Israel more justified in attacking Iran..!!

Hi, Telix. Let me begin my response to your question by noting that my post was pure speculation. What I said was:

"....I think it's very possible indeed that Israel knew from its Iranian operatives that a suicide bomber or bombers had been dispatched to attack Israeli citizens; possibly even knew to where they were sent."

It is worth remembering what we learned from the report from the 9/11 Commission and the 9/11 hearings testimony given before Congressional committees about the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The Report and testimony made it very clear that the various security and intelligence agencies of the United States knew that Al Queda was determined to attack within the United States, and intelligence chatter suggested an attack inside the US was near; even some elements of the nature of the impending attack had been pieced together.

But, the intelligence wasn't shared fully among the numerous (15?) separate intelligence entities collecting that information within the US and around the world, and so the puzzle pieces were never all laid on one table to create a complete picture of the planned operations, and as a result 19 of the 20 terrorists successfully hijacked 4 fully fueled jetliners and successfully proceeded with their assignments.

And those events occurred within the borders of the US; effectively right under our noses.

Knowing in advance (from gathered intelligence and electronic chatter) that a suicide attack against Israeli citizens had been authorized by Iran and dispatched would still be pretty darned difficult to stop in a foreign country (in this case Bulgaria); especially if the suicide bomber had been given the autonomy of finding his own target once he had arrived in that foreign country (rather than the target being determined in advance).

Also, there is the issue of 'diminishing returns' for covert intelligence in a foreign country; i.e., Where is the cost-to-benefit threshold for an intelligence agency to potentially reveal its sources, blow it's operatives' cover, by stopping a terrorism operation which was a closely held secret by the enemy.

If only a handful of individuals in Iran knew of this operation, and Israel successfully stopped it, that handful of Iranians who knew would immediately be known to include the Israeli information source and or covert operative(s). Sometimes intelligence organizations have to suffer losses for the greater benefit of not blowing their moles, operatives and information sources.

Or maybe I have just read too many John le Carre' novels? ;-)

    It is known that the Mossad infiltrated the 9/11 hi jackers. They are that good. They were living near the hi jackers, wherever they went. Of course what they did after that was not so good.

    They knew the hi jackers could not have succeeded without help, so they, along with Zionists in our government rigged the WTcs and Bldg 7 with nano thermite to bring down the towers. The WTCs, including Bldg 7 were insured heavily against a terror attack they knew was coming. They arraged for NORAD to be unavailable for help on the appoited day, by scheduling exercises during the attacks. The commander of NORAD was Jewish.

    Israel, in all probability bombed the bus in order to frame Iran. It was another in a long list of Israeli false flag attacks. 9/11 was an inside job. Bldg 7 and the WTCs fell to the ground in controlled demolitions and Bldg 7 wasn't hit by any plane.

I just wish we would stop catching all the $hit for what they do and also be responsible and call them out from time to time. They aren't just a victim in the whole middle east situation. They've done their fair share of victimizing but that always seems to be overlooked. Now I say this all but believe me our government certainly has some skeletons that need cleaned out as well. Like I said I think we could handle our relationship with them a little better.

    The Senate Votes to Extend $9 Billion in Loan
    Guarantees for the Benefit of Israel

    Martin Hill reports:

    Have you heard about the the "United States-Israel Enhanced Security
    Cooperation Act of 2012"? It was introduced by Senator Barbara Boxer on
    3/6/12 with 71 Cosponsors.

    The House passed their version [H.R.4133] on May 9, pledging unlimited loyalty
    and riches to our "special friend" Israel, with only two congressman
    dissenting- Ron Paul and Democrat John Dingell of Michigan.

    The U.S. Senate passed their version on Friday June 29, 2012. Known in the
    Senate as S.2165, the measure guaranteed an astonishing $9 billion dollars in
    loans to Israel (plus all fees and interest!) in addition to giving
    "military assistance- stockpiles of defense articles" valued at $200
    million for 2013 and $200 million for 2014.

    Boxer praised passage of the bill, stating "I am so pleased that the
    Senate moved quickly to pass this important bill, which reaffirms the important
    bond between the United States and Israel and helps ensure that Israel has the
    necessary tools to defend itself in this time of dynamic change in the Middle
    East."

    Initially seeking documentation of which way turncoat Rand Paul voted on this
    treasonous bill, I tried to find the roll call votes. But as Harry Reid pointed
    out during the session, "THE NEXT ROLL CALL VOTE WILL BE AT NOON ON
    TUESDAY, JULY 10". The Senators passed this bill anonymously, in a
    so-called "voice vote"!...

    After tracking down the actual video of this travesty, which was no easy task-
    (they seem to make these things hard to find on purpose)- it was like watching
    something straight out of the twilight zone. Two old guys in suits mumbling
    under their breath in a strange monotone fashion, with the entire U.S. Senate
    taking literally less than six seconds total to squander 9 BILLION DOLLARS from
    the American people. A true outrage. They did not even call out each Senators
    name so that their constituents can hear whether they voted yea or nay.

    The bill will soon be sent to Obama for his signature. By going to http://thomas.loc.gov and typing the term United
    States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012
    in the search box,
    one can read full details on both the house and senate versions of this bill.

    The Senate version summary states that

    "it is U.S. policy to: (1)
    reaffirm the commitment to Israel's security as a Jewish state, (2) provide
    Israel with the military capabilities to defend itself and help preserve its
    qualitative military edge, (3) expand military and civilian cooperation, (4)
    assist in a negotiated settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that
    results in two states living side by side in peace and security, and (5)
    encourage Israel's neighbors to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish
    state.

    Expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should take specified
    actions to assist in Israel's defense.

    Amends the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2005 to extend authority
    to transfer certain obsolete or surplus Department of Defense (DOD) items to
    Israel.

    Amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to extend authority to make additions
    to foreign-based defense stockpiles.

    Amends the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2003 to extend
    specified loan guarantee authority to Israel.

    The law required that a Senate report
    be done on the bill. The law required that a
    Senate report be done on the bill. On June 27, two days before the voice vote,
    Skull and bones member John Kerry presented the obligatory "written report No. 112-179"...

    The report states "That the interest rate for loans guaranteed under
    this heading may include a reasonable fee to cover the costs and fees incurred
    by the borrower in connection with this program"
    , but then goes on to
    state "That funds made available for assistance to Israel under chapter
    4 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, as amended, may be utilized
    by the Government of Israel to pay such fees to the United States
    Government"
    !

    So we can charge them interest and fees on the $9 billion dollars, but then let
    them use our money to pay the fees!

    Notice how these bills to provide money to Israel are always written by Jewish Congressmen and women, working hard for Israel. Our politicians are corrupt and should be voted out of office for this travesty alone. I am definately going to work for my congressman's opponent and spread the word about this treachery.

    Our Congress is bought and paid for by AIPAC, which is a representative of a foreign government. It is illegal to be a lobbyist representing a foreign government. AIPAC and a few other Jewish groups, such as the ADL, should be outlawed.

    It is important that Americans realize that Israel is stealing our money, through illegal bribes and that most Jewish politicians represent Israel, not the US.

    AIPAC also directs other monies from separate groups to politicians. The money they receive from Jewish groups does not all come from AIPAC. There is no way in hell all these politicians are willing to sell out their country, without a bunch of money or extortion of some kind.

    Make no mistake, they are selling out their country.

    Stop all aid to Israel. Other nations laugh at the US for supporting the rogue regime in Israel. They know Israel is a terrorist nation, intent on ME domination and expansion.

    I would believe it. Israel is acting like a loose cannon right now by taking Iran's war baiting. There is little chance, with the crippling economic sanctions on them, that they have, or have the capability to, a nuclear bomb or the facilities to make one soon. Iran has been claiming for a decade that they are about to go nuclear, it is all war baiting bull crap to see who will be the first idiot nation to pull their itchy trigger finger.

    We should be more worried about North Korea than Iran.

    Isreal accused Iran of the bombing with the same speed that Iran accused Israel of assassinating it's scientists. Neither side effectively proved their cases and both rushed to judgement. There are many other enemies of Israel who would carry out such a dispicable act, and there are many enemies of Shiite Iran who have an interest in taking out Iran's nuclear scientists.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the bomber wasn't Bulgarian Muslim, or from Turkey or the Balkans. Many of them hate Israel also. Bulgaria is mostly Greek Orthodox with a substantial Muslim minority.

    I see another war flaring up in the middle east. What a surprise.

    @joet, I am sick of fakes coming on putting up a crazy looking black pic and pretending as if you are a person of color! You are intentionally trying to sound illiterate by using terms you assume black people use to correlate with the bogus, hideous photo. Moreover, the majority of uneducated people, black or otherwise, are not reading the news-or commenting in forums. So to all of the people putting on facade just to comment inappropriately on such subjects as Israel, Zimmerman, obama etc. should just stop. That goes for the person who always posts a photo of Malcolm X and then proceeds to make racist comments about African Americans. Stop using the most unattractive black photograph you can find to hide behind your racist or antagonistic message just to make a certain group of people look bad. Anyway, legitimate or not, your comment was ignorant and clearly based on inaccuracies.

        And unless my memory serves me wrong the IRA was considered a terrorist org. And just to let you know until about 4 years ago, I used to live in what is called "Dogtown" in the St. Louis, Mo.! Look that, and the St Patricks Day Parade in that area, etc. up!

        It's an insult to all who have served. So you disrespect the American military, and spread lies about evil "Jewish" things like Bolshevism and communism That is not connected with anything "Jewish" the word "Jewish" refers to a religion.

        Yeah that's right folks Bolshevism/Communism WAS a "jewish"

        No, that is a out right lie. "Jewish" refers to a religion. are you familiar with word usage in English ? or is it an automatic-translate problem?

        You are not very good at this, whoever gave you your "job" should stop paying you.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Bolshevism

        Today, Russia is considered to be the center of National Bolshevism, and almost all of the National Bolshevik parties and organizations in the world are connected to it. Amongst the leading practitioners and theorists of National Bolshevism are Aleksandr Dugin and Eduard Limonov, who leads the unregistered and banned National Bolshevik Party(NBP) in Russia.[2] Influenced heavily by the idea of geopolitics, current Russian National Bolshevik movements propose a merger between Russia, Europe and parts of Asia, in a union to be known as Eurasia.

        Russia, is not a "Jewish" nation. There is no mention of "Jews" being involved and all.

        As a literate American who is educated, I was forced to the read the nonessential Claptrap of Marx, who was an atheist, not a Jew.

        And Marx did not invent the "communist, socialist idea, or meme, in comes from
        the French revolution. The French, are not a Jewish nation.

        http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/61/pg61.txt

        The Project Gutenberg EBook of The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
        and Friedrich Engels

        The Socialist and Communist literature of France,

        It was in the words of Marx, in his book where he says it's a french idea.The french are not Jewish

        a literature that originated under the pressure of a bourgeoisie in power,and that was the expression of the struggle against this power, was introduced into Germany at a time when the bourgeoisie, in that country, had just begun its contest with feudal absolutism.

        German philosophers, would-be philosophers, and beauxe sprits,eagerly seized on this literature, only forgetting, that whenthese writings immigrated from France into Germany, French social conditions had not immigrated along with
        them.

        You are blaming "Jews"for thing that they are in no way connected with, and
        have said it's your job to do so. Who would give you such a job. As a pointed
        out, there is no oath in the American military to go out a defame people of the
        Jewish faith.

        Your comment is in no way related with reality, it's anti Jewish propaganda.

        Many people have blamed the "Jews" for every crime unimaginable. National
        socialists in the 1930, Iranians now, thats why I joked about who was paying you.

        Youm know, yiu said it's your "job" of spreading disinformation about Israel, Who would do such a thing with out being paid?

        Again you are wrong on several points! My guess is your "school" never taught you how to do proper research!

        Look up the name Hess, the "jewish" person who came before Marx, not the one associated with Hitler!

        TPak and kpr37

        You say you have family that are serving in the military (US?), yet you ARE NOT (WHY?), and I'm sure never have, and you think you have the right to question whether or not I served in the US Army just because you do not agree with what I am saying?

        And you do not think this is disrespecting to those who have lost thier lives, and myself, and millions more who were/are willing to give their lives to preserve freedom of speech?

        I see some much needed growing up!

        I guess like SHILLS usually do, you will come back after I am gone, AGAIN, and get your last word in, even if it's nothing but BS! Have fun, NOT!

        I seriously doubt that Israel could find a single person interested in blowing himself up along with other Israelis. Suicide bombers are a tactic of Islam.

        The sad thing with all this is that the Iranian people are all just along for the ride. The citizens are good people; the leaders are insane. It was like JUnior dragging us all into the Iraq war along with him and all his draft dodging buddies.

          Well I'm sick of war being a vet of one, and losing my friends then using my tax dollars to rebuild it, The Holocaust was a very terrible thing, But so was slavery of the Africans with way more years of torture and inequality.

          I'm sick of the USA getting dragged into these other countries feuds. I'm sick of our country of being a place where the world come to and want to change our way of life instead of really wanting to be an American, instead of staying in there own country and fighting there to change it. You can be in America Legally for one second and be an American. Stop telling people what to say or write in America, This is what My Buddies and I fought for.

          We seem to get in trouble whenever we interject ourselves into some failed European colonial policy.......Vietnam, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel.

          We need to learn to "heel/toe it for the door" when the Europeans need help with one of their former colonies.

          It always ends in a disaster for us, as the Europeans extract themselves from the problem.

          Funny, because many thousands more did leave Iran to go to Israel and the United States - in particular Los Angeles. I have a friend from there who told me that every morning the were required to state a pledge of allegiance stating "Death to America and Death to Israel." His family was often persecuted and when they went to the police about anything were only told "tisk tisk." They had to sell all their possessions and bribe authorities in order to be able to leave the country. The reality is that most have left, but a small percentage have remained as it has been their home for millenia (oh, and Iran hasn't yet tried to exterminate them in mass, so I guess maybe it is better relative to some other places).

          US Army, you like to defame people without even knowing them. My buddy from Iran is one of the nicest human beings on this planet. His experiences are likely real for he had little reason to lie about them. He had nothing to gain. He earned my friendship without it. You may claim that he and even I are delusional, but that doesn't make us bad people. You are the kind of person I fear in this world. I do not think it would take much for you to lynch Jews regardless of whether that person ever did anything wrong. You are preaching guilt by "tribe" which means you hold all Jews guilty of any crime. You clearly have a lot of hostility. Your views are both unamerican as well as against Judeochristian philosophy.

          Isn't it great how you get to point the finger at "Muslims." Considering that half the world is Muslim, you get to blame half the world.

          And then, the US/Israel can invade any country they want - scream "remember 9/11" - and people like you are beating the drums and screaming about crazy Muslims - exactly like you're supposed to do.

          Do you ever step back and think about things like that? Like how convenient it is for the US and Israel? I mean - assuming the CIA and Mossad are not involved in false flag operations (even though they have done it many times before), those terrorists sure do convenient things that benefit the banks/corporations/military-industrial complex, don't they?

          Iran states the obvious.

          Mossad motto: "By deception, thou shalt do war."

          This is an old tactic - repeated time and again. Do some simple research: The Lavon Affair and the USS Liberty are prime examples. Papers released in the UK this past week indicate that Abu Nidal, a supposed terrorist that led multiple notorious operations in the 1970's and 1980's (Munich assassination, French airliner hijacking) was actually a Mossad asset. Interestingly enough, Ziad al-Jarrah, first cousin of Ziad Jarrah (supposed 9/11 hijacker), was arrested as a Moosad spy after 22 years of posing as a Lebanese nationalist.

          And just to correct a few things on this board and article: Iran does not deny the holocaust - they have inquired about some aspects of it and question why Palestinian natives have to pay the price for it. Iran has the second highest Jewish population in the world (wiki it) with citizens that refuse to emigrate to Israel. The "wipe off the map" lie repeated time and again was an intentional translation error - that's not what Ahmadinijead said - not even close when you read the entire speech.

          Propaganda - pure and simple. And before you flame me for questioning the almighty mainstream media, do some simple research. There's no arguing against the first 2 issues I mentioned: Lavon Affair and USS Liberty - and that was in the 1950's and 1960's. What makes anyone think that Israel has changed its tactics in the 21st century?

            Good...! Israel deserves many more such attacks. Israel has a long history of involvement in terrorism, and killing innocent people.

            Once Iran has the Nuclear bomb, Israels rein of terror will come to an abrupt halt, and that's what Israel fears most.

            Israel can go to hell.

            Rick....I don't think you're legit. I think you're here to make people like me and others on this board look bad. I always get suspicious with handles that have a name and bunch of weird numbers after it. You guys seem to show up when there are several people that agree but disagree with the official mainstream media narrative.

            There are many of us opposed to Israeli policies - but we're not cheering Iran to make the bomb.

            Just to start with, the Koch Brothers are not Jewish: They are of Dutch descent and live in Kansas. And those corporations you mentioned are just that: corporations. In fact, fairly few bankers are Jewish. If you saw "Too Big To Fail," you will remember the scenes where the leading bankers are sitting around the table. As I remember, there were 12 of them, and two were Jewish...which is about the proportion of Jews in professions requiring advance education. And the non-Jews threw one of the Jewish bankers, Dick Fuld, to the wolves.

            Cassandra, what are you doing. They can't handle the truth. It was better when they thought ALL bankers were Jewsssssssss, and the Koch brothers were,and Wall Street, and Now you went and spoiled it. Remember Jewsss control the Media, Hollywood, Bollywood, Dollywood, and the water parks. I like when they say that "they" destroyed the economy With their brothers in China . Wait Jews do like Chinese food

            Another joke. Have you seen the latest German microwaves? They seat six. Yes I lost relatives too. If you don't laugh you will spend the rest of your life crying.

              Iran is just planting the seed of doubt but it is a viable seed! America has many proven "false flag operations" under its belt to which it went to war or attacked another country.

              AND if anyone really looks at the evidence they will see that 9/11 was perhaps the biggest of them all. Massive US air training programs throughout the Northeast coast that day, rendering fighter response impossible; imploding buildings caused by thermite charges; evidence that speaks much louderr than any BS story given by the government to the sheeple!

              So while I suspect that Iran plays its own brand of dirty little games, I KNOW that America and Israel do, as history has proven.

              (even if after really looking at the hard evidence you still believe that 12 Saudis with boxcutters could bring the devastation of 9/11 and defeat the entire US air defense system/intelligence structure, you cannot deny the use of False Flag operations of the past!)

              It's refreshing to see the posters here at the President's official network espousing the official line from the Stinky (-bo) administration. Your leader doesn't much like Israel either. We're going to rid ourselves of Him in November.

              Happy ramadamadingdong, y'all.
