HAS THERE BEEN AN ATTEMPT ON AHMADINEJAD OR NOT?

The world media is reporting with great excitement that a home made bomb or grenade has exploded very close to Ahmadinejad's convoy.

The Iranian government is denying such an attack occured.

Some media are reporting the grenade/bomb exploded 100 metres away from the convoy.

The grenade/bomb has now been downgraded to a firecracker.

The MI6/Saudi media company al Arabiya, amongst others, were very keen to report the grenade/bomb attack on Ahmadenijad as just that, rather than as a firecracker going off 100 metres away from the convoy.

Hmmmm.
