In a very short report, Fars writes,

The rumors about a plane crashing into ground in Neyshabour [north-east of Iran] are denied. The local chief of Police denied the rumors which started two days ago regarding the crash of an unmanned plane. He added, “those who have started these rumors are agents of the enemy”. He continued, “the same rumor has been mentioned in two other cities in the region”.

p.s. This is the one thousandth post of Kamangir.

Ahmadinejad: Still Alive (Update: Something Is Fishy) (Update: III)

Kamangir | February 23, 2007 | Category Iran

Updates at the end of the post.

Fars reports,

While Ahmadinejad was moving between two cities, during his undergoing trip, one of the cars in the group left the road. Three of his bodyguards were killed in the accident and two others were hospitalized. Reportedly, the two are in critical conditions.

Could you imagine that this could make a billion people’s day?

Update: Fars corrected the report, “no one is killed”.

Update: There are contradicting details in the story.

1- English Fars writes “The five security guards .. are reported to be in a stable but grave condition“. However, Persian Fars writes “the five bodyguards are hospitalized and are getting well”. Mehr adds that they will be transferred to Tehran in a few hours. It is important to remember that Fars did correct its early report that three passengers of the car were killed in the accident.

2- The pictures do not match the story. Furthermore, the pictures in different sources are contradictory. Persian Fars published this picture,

“Today, they took away a friend”

Kamangir | February 23, 2007 | Category Iran

This is from Mideast Youth,

My friend Kareem has been sentenced to 4 years in prison. 3 years for his stance against Islam and 1 year for ‘defaming the President.’

I have nothing further to say. I don’t know whether to cry or to kick something in anger.

His appeal will be launched on Saturday by his lawyers, but we are told that it won’t do much, I just hope his sentence will at least be decreased.

The fight for his freedom will go on. We’ll work harder with more passion. He really doesn’t deserve this.
