Guns and bookworm
Article Abstract:
Iranian politician, Saeed Hajjarian, has been seriously injured by a gunman, and there are a number of theories as to who could be responsible. The police, militiamen, and Revolutionary Guards are among the suspects. He had been deputy intelligence minister and had revealed some of the intelligence agency's secrets to a journalist. Newspapers argues that the attack occurred because the states did not take action after attacks on sleeping students by vigilantes in 1999. Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is commander in chief, and only he can tackle the problem. President Muhammad Khatami does not have the authority to intervene directly.
