Iran To File Complaint Over Mosque Attack


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said Iran will file a complaint to international bodies over the deadly mosque bombing by an insurgent group he says the U.S. supports.

Ahmadinejad did not specify if the complaint would be specifically against the U.S.

But he told Iranian state television that America supported the bombings. The twin suicide bombings of a mosque in southeast Iran killed 28 people Thursday night, in an attack claimed by the Jundallah insurgent group as revenge for the execution of its leader by Iranian authorities in June. Obama and other U.S. officials condemned the bombings.
