Standing on a roof, gunmen opened fire on a group of protesters who had tried to storm a pro-government militia's compound. One man was killed and several others were wounded in the worst violence since the disputed election Friday.
It appeared that Iran's ruling clerics had opened the door for the demonstration — even giving it news coverage — in a possible bid to avoid more street clashes and seek some breathing room in the growing confrontation.
(this what your referring to?)
But a single moment could change all that. Gunfire erupted from a compound used by the Basij, a volunteer militia linked to Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard. An Associated Press photographer saw at least one demonstrator killed and several others with what appeared to be serious wounds. |
those are against people storming a compound or government building. try storming the US Capitol or White House and i'm sure you'll be met with the same fate.
totally different from opening fire on people shouting in the streets at a rally (which didn't start till the end of last week).
so you see the difference?
