Iran blames Britain and US for bombings
25/01/2006
Iran’s president today blamed Britain and the US for two bombings that killed at least nine people in the southwestern city of Ahvaz.
“Traces of the occupiers of Iraq is evident in the Ahvaz events. They should take responsibility in this regard,” state television quoted President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as saying.
The station reported that Ahmadinejad had issued a decree ordering his foreign minister and intelligence minister to investigate the possibility that “foreign hands” might have been responsible for the explosions.
Comment from Signs of the Times: Sounds logical enough to us, after all, counter-insurgency tactics are SOP for Western intelligence agencies. Obviously the basic goal of counter-intelligence operations is to destroy the enemy. To achieve this, many different tactics can be used, but all aim to discredit and demoralize the enemy as a means to destroying it.
Today, an enemy can be universally discredited (at least in the public eye) if he can be portrayed as a "terrorist". To portray him as a terrorist, it is often necessary to carry out terrorist acts that your enemy would not normally engage in.
British army intelligence agents were caught engaging in exactly this type of operation late last year when the car they were travelling in was stopped and found to contain explosives. Both men were wearing full Arab dress. It seems that the plan was to create yet another Western media headline along the lines of "Iraqi insurgent car bomb kills dozens of Iraqis."
