Iranian suicide squads ready

IRAN has formed battalions of suicide bombers to hit American and British targets if its nuclear installations are attacked, The Sunday Times newspaper has reported here.

According to Iranian officials, 40,000 trained suicide bombers were ready to strike, the British weekly broadsheet said.

Doctor Hassan Abbasi, head of the Centre for Doctrinal Strategic Studies in the Revolutionary Guards, said that 29 Western targets had been identified.

"We are ready to attack American and British sensitive points if they attack Irans nuclear facilities," he said in a speech, according to The Sunday Times.

He said that some of them were "quite close" to the Iranian border in Iraq.

And if their nuclear facilities are not attacked, are we to believe these 40,000 islamokazees squatting on the Iran/Iraq border dying to die, are going to pick up their marbles and go home?
