European security officials have intercepted communications that suggest an Iranian diplomat was not only involved in an alleged plot last year to bomb a meeting of Tehran opponents outside Paris, but coordinated efforts with colleagues back in Iran, a well-placed western official told The Independent.The communications between Iranian diplomat Asadollah Asadi and counterparts in Iran were described as text messages, or chats, that have been collected by European intelligence services.“Evidence of his contacts with the regime are recorded chats,” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity while disclosing sensitive information.

This kind of stuff makes no sense except in the topsy turvy world of marauding Arab camel jockies.  That is what happened to the Persians, they suffered permanent PSTS, the post traumatic thing. The religion is a defensive adaptation, like the AllRighty folks in Syria, a kid of fake swami to mecca to get the arabs off your back.
