    Terrible. The 103 dead would already put this in the top ten deadliest bombings of all time and I expect this number to rise in the coming hours. This will be a major event for Iran.

    Moussavi was killed near Damascus 12/25

    al-Rouri was killed in Beirut 01/02

    Soleimani’s memorial was attacked 01/03

    Gee I sure wonder who could be responsible…

    Hmmm. Who do we know that has a history of targeting funerals, weddings, and other social gatherings like this in this region?
