The Terrorist Attack In Iran

Why would anyone do this?
Why?
It was a sad day in Iran yesterday. There was an attack on a Mosque in the City of Zahedan in Southeastern Iran, near the border with Pakistan. 19 people died while attending Friday prayers to commemorate a major religious event . According to the dispatch I reviewed from the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), the wounded included a 4 year old child.
The Governor of the Province said that arrests have been made. What I found bothersome is how lawless that region of Iran has become. What the world needs to realize is that the attack is significant on several fronts. First of, this occured near the border with Pakistan. The troubles in Pakistan are on the front pages of world news everyday. Two days ago, Lahore was attacked. Yesterday, it was Peshawar's turn.
The Southeast border region of Iran and Pakistan has become the new "Golden Triangle" that is a major transit route to transport Afghan drugs. So, this notion of Karzai claiming that 25 provinces are "opium-free" is just baseless. Iranian security agents lose their lives everyday fighting the drug runners. This story is one of the most underreported stories in the so-called mainstream media around the world.
It is the paramount reason why the drug cancer and the insurgency it is feeding must be eradicated. Failure is truly not an option.
