"Preparing the Battlefield" Part دو

Seymour Hersh, call your office, this message is probably on your voice mail.

An Iranian navy commander leading a unit that arrested 15 UK sailors in the Persian Gulf last year has survived an assassination attempt.

The attack on Colonel Abolqasem Amangah, the commander of the Arvand Rood Navy Base in southern Iran, occurred while he was driving in the eastern Sorkh Hesar district of Tehran last week.

Two groups of unidentified assailants, a group on a motorbike and the other in a car, opened fire on the vehicle of the Iranian commander.

Amangah pulled his car over, took shelter, and managed to escape unhurt.

It kind of puts the title of his latest piece into perspective huh? "Preparing the Battlefield"

Indeed.

For all you new folks who aren't familiar with Colonel Abolqasem Amangah, he is a rock star in Iran, they even threw a parade in his honor earlier this year. That link never gets old, Eagle1 won comment of the year...
