04/17/2004: "Iranian Unrest"

It seems that some Iranians continue to resist the Mullahcracy. According to Iranian students,

A security patrol car was blocked and an agent was shot by an armed group of three young freedom fighters in the Iranian Capital. This news has been confirmed, in an unprecedented manner, in the today's "Ghods Daily" which is an official newspaper affiliated to the paramilitary and repressive Bassij force.
...
the security forces had arrested a young female for non conformity with Islamic guidance. Soon several armed and masked young individuals will attack the security patrol car in order to free the arrested young woman who will be then able to escape from the scene.
...

Three notes:

• There seems to be some difficulty with the English language, saying "will attacked" instead of, say, "proceeded to attack".
  
• These students are still taking risks to defy religious intolerance.
  
• The bad guys decided to confirm the incident. That tells me the movement is too big to keep hushed.
  

I do harbor some doubts as to authenticity; this is not exactly splashed across my hometown newspaper. But I do think this is important, and I want my regular readers (google-bot, yahoo-bot, and MSN-bot) to stay informed.
