The semi-official Fars news agency gave a lower death toll, saying eight people were killed and more than 50 wounded. There was no immediate explanation for the discrepancy.
"As a result of a bomb explosion at Rahpouyan Cultural Center in Shiraz, unfortunately scores of our countrymen were martyred," the state television report said.
The television report said the mosque was part of the cultural center.
Fars said the mosque is the site of weekly speech about extremist Wahabi beliefs and the outlawed Bahai faith.

Please, if the USA can survive Jimmy Carter I think we will be just fine. People like you amaze me. You actually root against your country (presuming that you are a US citizen and not some POS foreigner posting on an American news site) just because your "party" is out of power. Very much like a 2-year-old pouting because he/she has to share a toy.
Even when the worst president in the past century was in power (Jimmy Carter), people like me (conservatives) did not root for the failure of the botched rescue mission in Iran. Because we are Americans... with no hyphenated qualifier in front.

Like the ones in the King David Hotel?
Or Northern Ireland?
How about the people that blow up abortion clinics or murder the doctors that perform abortions?

By then, maybe America''s credibility will be restored from what the Bush regime did to it.
This mosque doubles as a IED manufacturing plant to equip The Mahdi army.

kretos, sorry for my delayed response. Good to know that you are not a US citizen. Interesting that you are posting on CBSnews, an AMERICAN news organization. Doesn''t Greece have a news organization that you can post your BS comments on?
Clearly you are suffering from country envy. Hey, 2500 years ago or so, Greece was a great power and you were battling Persians. Nobody can take that from you. (Now, you are defending Persians and the name of your country is associated with s-o-d-o-m-y.)
Now, go take a tour of the ruins of your once-great country and cheer up. Maybe in another 2500 years your country will matter again.
If Mossadeq%u2019s regime had been permitted to continue, it is entirely possible that Iran could have evolved into an authentic democracy. American interventionism destroyed that opportunity and set the stage for many of the tragedies currently haunting the Middle East.
If America is ever to have even remotely cordial relations with Iran, we must accept responsibility for the terrible effects of Operation Ajax and admit that we had no right to intervene in a controversy that was wholly the business of the Iranian people. That exploit was unworthy of the Land of Washington and Jefferson.
While the American public often quickly forgets the interventions and mischievous actions of its government, our overseas victims seldom do. The current climate of international terrorism should prompt the American people to take a more active interest, since these transgressions often come back to haunt us in the most unexpected ways.

It didn''t take long for IRAN, Al Qaeda and Democrats to Denounce the United States for this and every terrorist bombing in the world. Democrats have for years made excuses for the genocidal terrorists. Ever time there is a terrorist bombing, Democrats are right there to give excuses to their terrorist partners and denounce America.
You don''t "dance in the streets", but you "dance" on this thread, it is the same thing.
And you presume yourself to be civilized.
Oh well, even Rome fell...
