Well, i wrote some comment to this article yesterday, but according to other news, which says that Al-Qiuda has taken the responsebility for the bombings at the Foreign Ministry. At this stage, it matters maybe less if these groups are Sunni or Shia, unless within Iraq. Iran does not only support Shias, such as Hezbollah, but also Hamas which are Sunni. Even if one group claims the terror attack, it might be another group just to confuse us in the West; Europe, but also Israel. Therefore, good intelligence is extremely important in my view.
