For some reason I can't find the cases even by Googling it. Whatever, everyone will know it's them and war will break out.

[QUOTE]Al Arabiya television said an attacker threw a bomb at Mr Ahmadinejad's convoy before being detained.
A home-made bomb exploded near the convoy, a source from the president's office told Reuters, but Mr Ahmadinejad, who was travelling from an airport in the western city of Hamadan to give a speech in a sports arena, was unharmed.

One person had been arrested, the Iranian source said.
The website khabaronline.ir reported that the president's car was about 100 yards away from the site of the blast.
The website said it had no information about whether other people were injured.
"The explosion caused a lot of smoke," it said.
However, an official from Mr Ahmadinejad's media office told AFP that the president's motorcade had not been attacked by a grenade. The explosion was from a firecracker, he said.

i was elaborating on your point as it seemed you were sketchy on the details
[QUOTE=Broseph_;23821757]I didn't make a thread with a misleading title, you cunt, can't you see the [b][i]Last updated at 05:53 ET[/i][/b] at the top of the BBC article?
The article originally stated it was a hand grenade that 'injured several journalist' before they changed it.
I hate how the BBC does that article overhaul. :bang:[/QUOTE]
Who cares? it still has the title.
It said Explosive device anyway. I wouldve put that there too.

Yeah same
Even if it was true, igniting a fire cracker 100 meters from a president is not a "assassination attempt".
Was expecting badage boys.

The original BBC Article Stated several people were injured in the car that was hit with the explosive

[QUOTE=VenomousBeetle;23821718]Castro, if I recall correctly did things too my country, and Im sure some others..

Read the fucking quoted article in the OP
[QUOTE]Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has survived an attack on his convoy in western Iran, media reports from the region say.
The reports say a device was thrown at the convoy in the city of Hamedan, where he was to deliver a speech.
Mr Ahmadinejad was unhurt and went ahead with the speech to a rally at a football stadium, which was broadcast live on state TV.
However, Iran's state-owned Press TV has denied the attack.
Arab TV reports said a number of people were wounded in the attack.
Dubai-based Al Arabiya television said the attacker hit a car carrying journalists. The attacker was detained, it added.
[highlight]"This morning [u]a hand grenade[/u] exploded next to a vehicle carrying reporters accompanying the president in Hamedan,[/highlight]" Iranian website Khabaronline reported.

He is from the United States. If I can recall the only thing Cuba did to the United States was start the Cuban Missile Crisis (Cuba didn't directly start it, spy planes took pictures of the missiles). Well that and caused a bunch of refugees to join the United States (which isn't horrible).
[QUOTE=Retardation;23822000]Absolutely nothing.
However people fail to implement it properly.[/QUOTE]
Which is why you shouldn't fuck with it to begin with, even in fucking communes within 2 generations they have to bring in outside help effectively ending the communism on even that small of a level, which is the only level communism can work, what you have how ever are a bunch of fucking idiots to apply it on a national level
Aww.. nearly... Try again boys!

I know, but it's similar. I forgot that Princip didn't throw the grenade though, one of the other assassins did.

Communism almost always leads to tyranny. I mean, fundamentally it's a good idea, but it would only work in a utopia in which human emotions do not exist, for it does not account for greed, pride and the natural human urge to become successful, rich and powerful.
Excuse me, but OP appears to be twelve.

Thank god he survived. If he had been assinated, everything would've gone to hell. Maintaining the status quo is important, it's the only way to have some form of stability in thay region.
Remember how fucknuts the US went after some Arabs flew planes into a building. Now imagine if those Arabs had killed the president instead. [i]Now[/i] imagine what would happen if it had been the other way around. It could very well have started a nuclear war, or something.
Thank god it was just a vandal with some leftover firecrackers.
[QUOTE=The mouse;23821550]Why is everyone [B]almost[/B] assassinated?

Because of statistics and the fact that people can't aim well.
Except for the asshole who killed JFK. That SOB needs to burn.

I wasn't neccesarily alluding to a conflict between the US and Iran. The region as a whole is quite unstable.
thank jesus he survived holy shit if we lost him not only would the area go into chaos but the ayatollah would probably put someone more radical than him into the presidency just to say FUCK YOU to the liberal iranians
