[i]TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad survived an attack with a homemade explosive device on his motorcade during a visit to the western city of Hamadan on Wednesday, a source in his office said. The source said Ahmadinejad's convoy was targeted as he was traveling from Hamadan's airport to give a speech in a local sports arena and the president was unhurt but others had been injured in the blast. One person had been arrested, the presidency source said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack. [/i] This and other similar reports were soon followed by "The Denial". [i]Reports of an assassination attempt on the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, were denied by the Tehran regime today, which said the confusion stemmed from a firecracker being mistakenly described as a "grenade". The Iranian website khabaronline.ir said a homemade grenade exploded near Ahmadinejad's presidential motorcade in Hamedan, western Iran, as he was on his way to address a crowd. But the official Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported that a local youth had thrown a firecracker as "a sign of joy" and blamed the use of the words "homemade grenade" for the confusion. It quoted the governor of Hamedan saying: "No one has been injured and no damage has been made." However, Mehr news agency said that a number of people had been arrested at the scene.[/i] So, what do you think...assassination attempt or sign of joy?
