Iran Source:Suicide Attack Training Center For Terrorists |
Probably: Terrorist Training Centers run the same Michael Moore films
lauded by U.S. academia. Moore films are shown in some U.S.
universities' political theory classes as examples of serious
socio-political philosophy. (!)
Man on the street documentaries is American as apple-pie. However,
Moore's view, as the narrator/director/script writer, is from the
gutter of his single-mindedness.

Suicide U.: Iran registers volunteers for martyrdom
SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM
Friday, May 28, 2004
LONDON — Iran has established what could be the first training center
for Islamic suicide attackers.
Iranian sources and media asserted that the Iranian Revolutionary
Guard Corps has established a center to train suicide attackers
throughout the world. The sources identified the center as the World
Islamic Martyrs and Fighters Staff Headquarters.
The facility was said to have been established by the IRGC's
intelligence service, responsible for the sponsorship and support of
Islamic insurgency groups linked to Teheran. The groups have included
Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine-General Command.
The existence of the center was first reported on May 26 by the
state-operated Iranian Student News Agency, Middle East Newsline
reported. On Friday, a similar version was published by the
London-based daily A-Sharq Al Awsat in an article by Iranian analyst
Ali Nouri Zadeh.
"This information is credible and its publication was approved by
leading elements of the regime who want to send a message to the
United States and its allies in the Middle East that Teheran would be
ready to respond to any attack," an Iranian source said.
The head of the center was identified only by his initials "F.R." The
sources said the center has already begun registering volunteers for
Islamic suicide missions in such locations as Iraq, Israel and
Lebanon.
The training center has already produced a promotional video in which
an IRGC intelligence officer detailed Iranian strategy to dominate
Arab and Islamic countries through the support of insurgency groups.
A-Sharq Al Awsat, which said it has received the video, reported that
the officer also discussed the importance of Iranian control over
Iraq, which he said contains 11 percent of world oil reserves.
A Western intelligence source said Iran has sought to establish a
training center for suicide attackers. But the source could not
determine whether the center was already operating.
A-Sharq Al Awsat quoted the officer, identified as as H.A., as urging
suicide or missile strikes against the West. The officer said the
United States and its Western allies have 29 sensitive facilities that
have been targeted.
"We are monitoring these locations and know how to strike them," the
officer said on the video.
