BLAMING IRAN for the mosque attack. I don’t know, but it seems like the way to bet.

UPDATE: Greg Djerejian emails to disagree: “The chances of Iran being involved in the Samarra shrine bombing are somewhere between zero and less than zero. It’s almost as absurd as Ahmadi-Nejad blaming the Jews and Americans for it. . . . The trail is much simpler. It goes to al-Qaeda in Iraq, namely Zarqawi.”

ANOTHER UPDATE: Gary Metz thinks that Djerejian is too quick to dismiss the Iranian connection:

First of all, Al Qaeda takes credit for its attacks. They have NOT taken credit for this.

But it is also important to remember that Zarqawi has been spending much of his time inside of Iran.

Lastly, Greg just dismisses the preliminary findings of those on the ground. Hmmmm.

Hard to know. I can certainly see why Iran would want a Sunni-Shia split.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Jon Henke looks at some other Iran evidence. And TigerHawk has related thoughts.
