Iran group canvasses for suicide attacks on Israel
The 300 men filling out forms in the offices of an Iranian aid group were offered three choices: Train for suicide attacks against US troops in Iraq, train for suicide attacks against Israelis, or train to assassinate British author Salman Rushdie.

It looked at first glance like a gathering on the fringes of a society divided between moderates who want better relations with the world and hard-line Muslim terrorists hostile toward the United States and Israel.

But the presence of two key figures - a prominent Iranian lawmaker and a member of the country's elite Revolutionary Guards - lent the meeting more legitimacy, and a clear indication of at least tacit support from some within Iran's government.

Since that inaugural June meeting in a room decorated with photos of Israeli soldiers' funerals, the registration forms for volunteer suicide commandos have appeared on Tehran's streets and university campuses, with no sign Iran's government is trying to stop the shadowy movement.

No sign of its new owners bringing sanity any closer, I see.

4. No distate Doc...
..just wry amusement at its antics. It may or may not be true. But a group of tits playing politics hardly deserves headlines.

Jpost seems to be in the same arena as MEMRI.

5. jpost is a bastion
of impartiality compared to some of the other favourite sources here:

worldnetdaily and jewishworldreview are fantastic for rabidly anti-arab/muslim propaganda and worldnetdaily is especially good for fundamentalist "end of days" religious bunk.

BTW don any reason you didn't post the parts of teh article where it states this ISN'T a government sanctioned activity and that members would be prevented from travelling overseas?
